Well then you need at least two email addresses per person. One role-based, one personal - promotions happen, you may want to keep being able to contact the human, not the role.

Yes, you do. But for the military this does not really matter, one of their defining characteristics is that they care MUCH more about "getting the job done" than about cost. This leads both to massive inefficiencies and to their extreme resilience to "bus factor" type events. It's a decent tradeoff for the military, it probably wouldn't be for commercial entities.

Having a role based system also makes it easier to move those tasks into a ticketing system.
