Well the issue for the military of course is the federal law.  HOWEVER, lets face it you have to fly and practice your proficiency anyways; IF you can achieve part of the training while performing an actual mission that will assist another agency, than the "cost effectiveness" leaps forward.   The risk of course, EVERY public agency looks to try to save money by having someone else pick up the tab, so this could get out of hand.
