100% - if the missions aren't under some type of military control (e.g., classified satellite launches from CCAFS or Vandenberg AFB), then they're considered National Security missions, even though they're under civilian control for manned flight missions. It's not necessarily that the missions or programs are classified or not, but putting the program under National Security or Military control gives it a certain amount of protection that wouldn't be afforded if they were strictly civilian missions and programs.
Prior to the retirement of the Shuttle fleet, all Shuttle commanders and co-pilots were always active duty military officers (usually former test pilots) who had been selected for the Astronaut program. This is also largely due to the fact that the most NASA centers and key launch installations are also on military bases (e.g., Kennedy Space Center (Cape Canaveral AFS) Langley (Langley AFB), Vandenberg AFB (military satellite launches).

Military operations often involve sensitive information that, if disclosed, could compromise national security and the safety of personnel. Revealing deployment locations can inform adversaries about military strategies and capabilities. Additionally, operational security is crucial for maintaining the element of surprise and ensuring the effectiveness of missions. Thus, the military typically keeps deployment details confidential to protect both its objectives and its personnel.
The National Security Council was formed in 1974 by the National Security Act. President Truman created this council to assist the president with domestic, foreign and military policies relating to national security.
The roles and missions for the U.S. military services were established primarily through the National Security Act of 1947, which created the Department of Defense and defined the responsibilities of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. This framework was further refined by subsequent legislation, including the Goldwater-Nichols Act of 1986, which aimed to improve joint operations and collaboration among the services. Additionally, various military directives and strategic documents, such as the National Defense Strategy, continue to shape and clarify these roles and missions.
