Curiously, I suspect any and all DoD funding will remain in the other part.

You’d actually be wrong about that. There are a number of administrative and R&D functions of DoD that shut down in case of a gov. shutdown, though other functions do still happen as normal. This is also true for the Department of Justice’s law enforcement agencies. But most civilian DoD employees are furloughed in such a case, and the courts do not operate.
