However, FAA does not govern military aircraft. The military has their own rules and regulations, but the military follows FAA regulations when flying in National Airspace. There is airspace in the US and elsewhere that is set aside for military operations such as the Barry Goldwater Gunnery Range.

Yes, the U.S. Military operates within the National Airspace System (NAS), which is managed and regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). While the military has its own specific flight rules and "Special Use Airspace" (SUA)—such as Restricted Areas and Military Operations Areas (MOAs) where they can conduct high-speed maneuvers or combat training—they must coordinate with FAA Air Traffic Control (ATC) when transitioning through civilian airspace. Military pilots are required to follow Federal Aviation Regulations (FARs), specifically regarding Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) and Visual Flight Rules (VFR) when interacting with civil traffic. The FAA and the Department of Defense (DoD) maintain a "shared" management approach, where the military "returns" restricted airspace to the FAA for civilian use whenever active training is not taking place, ensuring a balance between national security and commercial aviation efficiency.
