    "Like most large enterprises, DOD wants to consolidate its networks under
    a single architecture, making use of the Internet wherever possible, Hale
    said."

    "Eventually, the agency wants to merge its own networks into a single
    entity, Hale said."

    It certainly reads to me that they want all their differently classified
    networks to run over the Internet; which would imply crypto separation
    would be required.
