No, DOD is not leasing out IP addresses; ISPs are basically "stealing" them from DOD. This shouldn't be happening, but for some reason cellular carriers are complaining that ARIN won't give them IPv4 addresses even though addresses are available and the carriers clearly have enough devices to qualify. Something has gone wrong here, but I have not been able to find out why.
