so that begs the question, who decides "emergency or urgent military necessity?"

Almost an understatement. Somehow as I read your post I kept thinking of
Spaghetti.

Thanks Jim, and all.

When flying CAP aircraft I have to follow the super set of the FAA and
the CAP rules. All our aircraft are owned by the USAF. The currency,
checkout, ops, etc rules are much stricter than the FAA's. We do have
an FAA waver allowing private pilots to fly the aircraft w/o charging
them rental.

What is the relationship of the FAA to the military? Is the FAA the final
word on regulations for everything in the US airspace with the military
using an additional set of their own regulations?

The FAA is responsible for Civil Aviation. The military and the
government (called public) aviation is not subservient to them.
They cooperate only as it suits their interest.
