By law, they’re expected to carry out the order, and if they don’t Trump will simply remove them and appoint someone show does.

By law an illegal order is not to be followed. Even from the President. Of course a President may be able to overcome law abiding authority, but at that point we are talking straight criminality. If a nuclear attack order was refused in the absence of a direct threat that would be possible. The likelihood far more debatable of course.
