You are correct sir, IMHO you would see lots of "normal" police (marked by vests, armbands) and carrying official weapons (remember the M16EZs from 1st edition Weapons Guide). You would also see public information posters telling about the latest increase in rations, the opening of a new medical clinic/school, and so on.
After all, even the background has MilGov keeping control of the majority of the military by virtue of its control of the remaining communications systems. This would not only be simply because of orders but by a propaganda campaign as well...last month rations were one pound of bread and a half pound of meat, per adult, per day. Now rations are a pound and a half of bread, Things Are Getting Better!!!
