The biggest vulnerability in most computer systems are people. Many Soldiers are too lazy to save or encrypt thier files and lose them or comprise them all the time.
A computer system that isn't designed to and doesn't need to connect to the World Wide Web should be safe. If no one, for example decides they want to access a certain civilian website and so finds a way to connect their terminal to the World Wide Web, compromising it.
I'm sure you're aware, but the internet and the "world wide web" are different things. The common term for what you're describing is air gapping.
Yes, world wide web isn't the right term in this case. Proper term is just internet and it is an air gapped network.
ah, Military "Security".
