The Initiative is closed down by the Government at the end of 4.21 Primeval as it was deemed a failure. There was a 40% casualty rate amongst the soldiers:
“Maggie Walsh’s vision was brilliant but, ultimately, insupportable. The demons cannot be harnessed, cannot be controlled…The Initiative itself will be filled with concrete. Burn it down, gentlemen. Burn it down and salt the earth.”

Filled with concrete, and yet when Spike’s chip is malfunctions in Season 7, it seemed kinda lacking in the concrete sense…

Well you know how the Government is, they were probably still working on scheduling. After all it was only three years later. They probably still had a few thousand forms to fill out!

That’s a great point Buffyfan. This has always bugged me a little, but you are so right about this.
