To clarify a bit, you are talking about classifed network design. That isn't what this document is about.

The author of this document, Information Assurance Directorate (www.iad.gov) is focused on helping domestic government, their contractors, and private industry secure networks and devices against intrusion from hostile actors.

I'm talking about op-sec. Network design is but a single aspect of that, and often doesn't feature at all. I mean this more in the sense described by Wikipedia¹, and not the likes of SecurityStudio²/Fortinet³ (first two search results).

I’m not sure how that’s relevant?

It's relevant because your GP asked specifically whether I was talking about network design.
