The source describes Summit Point as a road-racing and driver-training facility currently used for amateur racing and contracted government training.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): This shows Summit Point remained in use for government-related training, but it does not show DHS designation as a Counter-UAS Training Center of Excellence or the promised de-escalation-training push.

Capito pressed DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin on additional deescalation training and asked him to work with her to make Summit Point the dedicated DHS Counter-UAS Training Center of Excellence.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): This is strong evidence of concrete effort by Capito on both parts of the commitment during the relevant Senate term. It does not prove DHS completed the Summit Point designation; the secretary’s response indicated willingness to visit and consider the facility, not a final designation.

Collins stated that the final FY2026 DHS appropriations law included $2 million for de-escalation training, but that completion of the training was still pending.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): This supports partial delivery of the deescalation-training portion: funding was enacted, but implementation was not yet complete as of July 16, 2026. It does not address or confirm the Summit Point Counter-UAS Training Center of Excellence designation.

Capito materially advanced the commitment during the same Senate term by pressing DHS on both de-escalation training and making Summit Point a dedicated Counter-UAS Training Center of Excellence. The record also indicates FY2026 DHS appropriations included $2 million for de-escalation training, supporting partial delivery of that portion. However, there is no evidence that DHS actually completed the added training or formally designated Summit Point as the DHS Counter-UAS Training Center of Excellence, so the full promised outcome was not delivered.

The reviewed evidence does not confirm that DHS designated Summit Point as a Counter-UAS Training Center of Excellence, and it also does not document a completed push for additional de-escalation training. The materials suggest Summit Point continued to be used for government-related training, but that is not enough to show the specific promised outcome was delivered.
