It's a tough question.
Not sure they'd lose ALL military support, but if it could be proven the SoD was alive (bearing in mind the difficulties of communication post nuke), there's a high chance many people would fall into line behind the SoD.
Politics would also play a big role, with quite a few I'd imagine unwilling to accept Broward's apparent illegitimacy as it would have massive flow on effects for their own position.
Another similar consideration is how the commanders of the Civgov units may view their own futures. Will they be arrested and tried for treason for supporting Milgov in light of what may be a more legitimate President?
Will there be an assassination attempt on the SoD?
Can enough Supreme Court judges be gathered together to make a proper constitutional ruling? Would that ruling be accepted?

As for the CIA, I don't even want to think about what would happen there!!!
