Should I ask...or just hope that it's enough ?
There must be some because it's a government agency.

Very, very little. In the early days (before the Challenger Disaster), the Shuttle was a military workhorse, delivering all sorts of secret satellites to orbit. After Challenger, the military moved away from using the Shuttle and more towards using "ELVs" or Expendable Launch Vehicles, like Delta or Atlas rockets. Those are cheaper to use, and have no crew to risk.
Now, the Shuttle's mission is one of peace and international cooperation. That's not to say that there is nothing militarsitic going on on the Shuttle - but it's definitely low-key, if it's there. Here's where we enter the realm of the conspiracy theorists!

It is secret...so unfortunately I cannot help you. If there is any Military ops with the shuttle it wont be low-key given the attention that the Shuttle gets. Most likely just some recon sat maintenance or something cheap...not anything grand like a space-based laser program or whatever you may have wanted to know.

Originally 25% of the shuttle missions were supposed to be military. But since the shuttle has proven to be very unreliable the military has gone back to using their own rockets.
Sadly NASA has too short an attention span to have completed the process of developing a shuttle replacement.

It's, as you say, a secret.
