That would do it. Probably the easiest way to meet your objectives, since you don't really intend to bring him back.

Permanent custody of an organization without (officially acknowledged) confinement facilities, or transfer to temporary custody without a specific permanent destination, will probably raise questions best left unasked.

Or can be be declared insane, medically discharged from the Army and subsequently moved to the Manhanock Asylum for the Criminally Insane?

Probably raise questions, too, at this point. The time for this play would have been during the trial.

Legally, I assume it would be better to have the US Army MI officer accompany Taylor and the two DHS Special Agents with him than to have the DIA officer do so?

If it's really a joint operation it shouldn't matter, but the Army officer may have an easier time negotiating the system.
dcarson is exactly right about the MI officer's role at the interview.
