Let's see, according to

https://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space/ipv4-add...

it looks like 6/8, 11/8, 21/8, 22/8, 26/8, 28/8, 29/8, 30/8, 33/8, and 55/8 are allocated to organizations that are part of DoD. That comes to ten /8 allocations. Am I missing some?

Dang. I thought as one of my last actions as the DISA.MIL Technical POC in 1995, I had successfully turned 22/ back into the NIC, so that it could be re-assigned to someone else who needed it. When we swept that address space repeatedly, we sure didn’t see anyone actually using it.

Dang.

At current prices .mil selling off 22/8 would net them at least 2 F-22s. Not quite the same as selling off tsla stock, but...
