The US Department of Defense plans to implement HTTPS and HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) for all its public-facing websites by the end of the year.
DOD's security woes
In the May letter, Wyden pointed out several problems with DOD's online presence. The first and most widespread was the low use of HTTPS among the Department's sites.

Wyden requested the DOD to move all sites to HTTPS, to use publicly-trusted SSL certificates instead of its homebrewed ones, and to implement HSTS. The Senator asked DOD Chief Information Officers Dana Deasy for a response by July 20.
DOD was preparing for this for several years
That response did come and was published online last week. In the response to Wyden's letter, Deasy outlined a plan to conform with the Senator's wishes.

Deasy says that according to BOD 18-01, the HTTPS and HSTS rollout has a planned target of December 31, 2018, a date by which all DOD websites should be using proper encryption.

You mean they haven't already?

Bill Gates nailed the entire USA with his little creation and obviously mesmerized us all, including the government.
