Using IPv6 with prefixes shorter than a /64 on a LAN

a contractor we only get access to certain ones, and only certain hosts
are allowed to access them).  Self contained networks are our problem.

Correct me if I am wrong, but won't Classified networks will get their
addresses IAW the DoD IPv6 Addressing Plan (using globals)?
