Don't know whether that's true or not but it would seem to directly contradict something said on the topic only last week on this board.
First, no way of 200 hours devoted to COIN.

From what I understand, It's all in the definition. There is no separate class on COIN at CGSC in the core, as I understand from my friends currently in it and some briefs I have seen. Instead it is "integrated" into the curricula to varying degrees.

I would reference again to the post on Abu Muqawama's blog here, from a current student. I know several CGSC professors lurk here, maybe they could add some clarity.
