My question then would be, what do you suppose they use?  Since at some point somewhere, you are more than likely going to end up on a commercial internet backbone.  So regardless of what government specific app you use.  The data is being routed through public IP space.   Not like the old days where you had dedicated copper circuits.

That more and more government applications services are leaving ON PREM space and going into the cloud.
