Absolutely. I can totally see a local/regional branch of a particular federal agency siding with the predominant regional faction, even if the parent federal agency aligns with the other. I also think these "outlier" groups would be in greater danger of fracturing the way Desert Mariner described.

Thus you may get a situation where one Federal agency goes with MilGov and another with CivGov - but where they need to cooperate against say the Soviets or New America then they are "allies of convenience"

Definitely.
To sum up today's discussion, I don't think there's any set answer. I think which direction a particular field office/branch goes depends on the alignment of the parent fed'l agency, the predominant local/regional faction, and whether or not there's a common enemy in the area.
