Former soldier (national guard) here, and yes, yes they do. You know how aids it is to be a civilian software engineer and have to work with IE11 to complete assignments. The good thing is that 95% of the time I could convince their software to give me a certificate without completing the course on stuff like OPSEC (yes, I am aware I shouldn't share my password with others). Guhhh.

Its a general government thing. The amazing power of contractors to determine what systems their precious software will run on is amazing. I have a Windows Server 2003 machine still on my network because of a grant contractor that hasn't certified anything beyond that.
