No specific alloy is "forbidden" in military electronics. 
In general, solders and fluxes are categorized per and must comply with
J-STD-004, J-STD-005, and J-STD-006.
Specific solder alloy types are called out on assembly prints and BOMs
per MIL-STDs and Weapon Specs.
Military, traffic control, industrial safety, some medical, and many
other products are exempt per RoHS and IEEE exemptions.

Check out
Air Force's Airworthiness Advisory AA-05-01 It isn't very forceful in
the wording, but is the closest thing I could find so far to support my
cause.  If anyone knows of any documentation forbidding lead free in
military products, I would sure appreciate a heads-up.
Thanks,
Dave

Subject: Military Exemption from Lead-Free?

I believe that I remember someone mentioning a military end-use
exemption from lead free requirements.  Am I remembering correctly or is
this just wishful thinking?  If it is true, can anyone point me in the
direction to get it in writing?

 

Thanks!
