Here are some military frequencies.
USAF Global HF System Frequencies
The Global HF System (GHFS) was stated by the US Air Force in June of 1992. This system was created by consolidating several other USAF HF networks, including the Strategic Air Command "Giant Talk" system. The goal of the system was to develope a worldwide HF network for providing Command & Control HF communictions to all authorized DOD aircraft and ground stations.
When you hear an aircraft or any stations calling "MAINSAIL" on any of the GHFS frequencies this is a "general" call for any ground station to answer and provided the calling stations with what ever he needs. Any GHFS ground station will respond to the call "MAINSAIL". Depending on the service required, the station bay request the aircraft to change to a discrete frequency for improved and extended service.
EAM's or Emergency Action Message. Another very important aspect of the GHFS is the transmission of EAM's. EAM's are the coded military orders or bulletins that have the highest priority. When EAM's are broadcast, ALL other users of the system are to standby. If you hear a voice giving a long series of letters phonically this is an EAM.
SKYKING messages are special EAM's. These presumably could be the nuclear go/no-go codes. There was a higher than normal number of EAM's and SKYKING messages being transmitted after the attackes of 9/11/01. Urgent SKYKING messages are repeated three or four times instead of the usual two. SKYKING is a group callsign, meaning "Any this net." "Do not answer" is the standard procedure ofr self-authenticating broadcasts, meaning that recipients don't need to give away their positions or existence by challenging the orders. While tuned to any of the GHFS frequncies and hear "SKYKING SKYKING Do not answer" you can bet you're hearing a very important, highest priority, and heavily encrypted message!

15038 Sigonella
20390 AF Eastern Test Range (Backup for Ascension), Cape Canaveral, Antigua, Ascension, Maui
Footnotes:
(1) - 10780 is usually the primary frequency NASA uses to communicate with the Booster Recovery Ships during a Space Shuttle Launch. Start listening to this a day before up to a few hours before any Shuttle launch and you'll hear Cape Radio on this frequency. This frequency is sometimes used during non Shuttle launches as well.
(2) - 11175 is probably the most active of all the GHFS frequencies. If you want to hear your first military station, set you radio on this freq. and usually within an hour you'll hear something. Even with a portable radio and telescoping antenna you should be able to catch some Military comms on this frequency (your radio must be capiable of receiving USB).

NASA HF Frequencies
These frequencies can usually be found active during times of Shuttle or other rocket launches from the Cape. The two freqs marked in bold are the most likely you'll catch some comms on, these are the frequenies the Cape use to communicate with the Solid Booster Recovery ships. Keep you HF received tuned to the primary (10780 KHz) for many hours before launch and you'll hear something.
Frequency Modulation Description
5810.0 KHz USB Cape Radio - Secondary Booster Recovery
10780.0 KHz USB Cape Radio - Primary Booster Recovery
7765.0 KHz USB Cape Radio - Active during STS-113
HF Major World Air Route Areas and Frequencies
Just like our VHF/UHF network of Air Route Traffic Control Centers here in the United States there is a simular network of Control for International/Worldwide fights. This set of frequencies use the HF bands due to the great distances communications needs to exist. This HF network is known as the Major World Air Route Areas (NWARA). All HF communications in this network are USB unless otherwise noted.
As war breaks out in the Middle East you'll want to keep your radios tuned to these frequencies as our US Military aircraft will have to fly through these areas and communicate with the controlling agency.
Granted must HF Military airtraffic will be found on the US Airforce High Frequency Global Communications System (HF-GCS) formly known simply as the Global High Frequency System (GHFS).
The ICAO HF Enroute Network is broken down into 11 different areas known as Major World Air Route Areas (NWARA). Below are each of the 11 areas. This website is still a work in progress however I'm working on the areas which would be the most useful during a Middle Eastern war. Below you can click on the area of interest and it will take you to a page with HF frequencies as well as a coverage map for that area. The first areas which I'll be working on are the North America and Middle East area.

If you have a cb get ahold of me because I have some information to pass.
