There are at least two military observatories on Haleakala. The are both high security & dedicated facilities, that is they do not share operations or time with university researchers. I don't know for certain, but I would doubt very much the military would share resources on Mauna Kea with any of the observatories here.
The Haleakala facilities have bank vault, double entrance doors ( you enter, the door behind you locks, the one in front of you remains locked until you've cleared security), and armed guards at the desk. Tom probably knows if there is anything like that on a Mauna Kea.
