Also, let me point out, there are tons of great training opportunities near Iowa. One of the best MOUT facilities in the states is located in Indiana and Fort McCoy has terrific ranges as well.

This is absolute BS and I would seriously question the judgment of the Commanding Officer in this case.

I question the value of kicking in American style storm doors and raiding Western frame houses for training for elsewhere. If you train for the mission like you are supposed to be fighting, seems to me there'd be some differences unless Western home construction is what they would be up against.

I am not sure how things are built elsewhere, but when I look at images of the debris/ruins of natural disasters and warfare in foreign countries, it looks as if methods and materials differ from here.
