This is a risk you take when using squad space of any form.  DoD space 
is somewhat uniquely "safe" in this regard but not immune to such things.

Honestly I'd be just about as worried as a potential legitimate non-DoD 
public Internet user of that space about reachability issues as I would 
as someone squatting on it internally within my network about it 
becoming a part of the common global routing table.

I also suspect your typical large corporate environment cares less about 
broad, global reachability than other Internet users in many cases.
