It does have kind of a "preparing for national crisis" feel to it.
EDIT: The DoD one is amending an existing Executive Order. This current version reshuffles the positions currently occupied by Trump's appointees closer to the top. It's still Deputy SecDef, Secretaries of Forces higher in line, but after that it's positions Trump appointed within the last month when he replaced Esper.
That gives it even more of a "this might become relevant soon" feel.
Given it’s dictating orders of succession. It seems those positions are either going to become vacant quickly and replacements will be needed faster then they can be appointed via Trump/Congress or there’s fears something will happen to the individuals currently occupying them and they’ll need a chain of individuals that are legally able to step into the position quickly.

If a civil war breaks out, whoever controls the military will win by default.
Ho Li Fuk. That is not ominous or anything...
