While details of the Pentagon's plan remain secret, the White House proposal would commit $277 million in funding to kick off a new program called "pLEO SATCOM" or "MILNET."

Please do not call it "MILNET". That term's already been taken.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MILNET?wprov=sfla1

In computer networking, MILNET (fully Military Network) was the name given to the part of the ARPANET internetwork designated for unclassified United States Department of Defense traffic.[1][2]
