I think you need to separate offense from defense in understanding this
issue. You might also want to separate different aspects of information
operations.

I think that every branch of every military and all of their academies
have some coursework related to this subject. There are also training
organizations and programs within all military organizations that I am
aware of. Essentially, everyone in the military trains all the time
except when they are fighting.
IF you are looking for specific training you would have to be more
specific in terms of what you seek.
