I spent a whole career involved in military (Naval) communications
planning, from single units to entire fleets, and never once included
amateur radio as a component of that planning.

Civil Defense guys like FEMA in fact do count on amateur radio in
emergency situations.

NORAD, which is definitely military, does include ham radio in their
plans, so does the Office of Homeland Defense.
