Complicated topic.

TRE stored in DES are reported in the TRE and xml:TRE metadata domains.

For generic DES extraction, you need to build GDAL with the ESRI_BUILD macro 
enabled, and then they should be reported as Base64 encoded content in the 
NITF_DES metadata domain, but I haven't tried such builds recently.
