Anyone have any technical analysis on the DoD's massive BGP advertisement?

Or should I say Global Resource Systems, LLC's massive BGP advertisement?

I don't buy for a second they handed over control of all these IPs to a private company just to prevent BGP hijacks. It also doesn't make sense to say it's a DoD shell company doing this. Everyone knows it's the DoD, why bother with the flimsy disguise? Beyond the initial route announcements, has anyone seen traffic from/to these address blocks? Are there any other technical discussions out there analyzing this? Anyone have any decent theories as to what is going on?
