This would, I am almost certain, all be over SIPRNET or an equivalent, which is (to my understanding) 100% physically airgapped from any public/open network.
I may be mistaken, but wasn’t one of the reasons that Manning was able to get so much data (and that was a low-level individual) is that due to operational requirements / contingencies (IE. I’m too lazy) the systems do get interlocked, despite not ever supposed to be touching in design?
