having worked the Central American training issues back at that time -- roads in Honduras, mostly -- IIRC, the intial ruling was overruled on Appeal (mostly because it interfered with ArNG deployments to the REFORGER Exercises in Europe). In any event, Overseas Deployment Training (ODT) at Fedral direction continued without a hitch into the mid-90s when it got hit with funding cuts.

Note in the linked article that the 8th Circuit found for the Governor and the 1st Circuit had earlier found for the Feds. I don't recall the sequencing but I do know that ODT kept going.
