I've only been in uniform, not worked for private defense contractors, but it should be this. On government systems, websites, etc. you're subject to monitoring, and a prominent banner reminds you of this every time you logon. All web traffic on NIPRNet goes through a proxy that breaks TLS to do inspection. Your .mil email and files on your government device(s) can be scanned. Even a low level (like, 19 year-old E-2 with a Sec+ certificate) sysadmin can manage accounts in Active Directory and browse any machine on the domain through C$ administrative shares.
This doesn't apply to your personal devices unless you've brought them somewhere that they shouldn't go, or there's other reason to believe that you've done something bad with them.
