They're currently running 4D WebSTAR on OS X, with some more back-end supporting XServes.

They switched in 99 after a kid hacked their NT system, defacing the site, and they researched what could provide the best security. The Army has a highly-attacked, trafficked and high-profile site. Another compromise would be quite embarrassing. Thus they go with OS X.
