Honda XL600 Used by DOD?

I bought this bike about a month ago and noticed an old DOD sticker on the front fork. It's a 1986 XL600 Honda Enduro. I know the military used Kawasaki KLRs but I've never heard of Honda's in service. It sat in a shed for years until I bought it as a pair with an XR500. Got it running briefly and already sold it to the neighbor but I'm still curious about the history. Anyone ever seen one with this sticker before or was it probably just a personal vehicle? I didn't see the sticker until a few days ago so didn't get to ask the previous owner.
