From my logs: MH-65 used 23A on Monday for their demo as well. CG-409 aircraft side was unencrypted but ground was secure.
What did you use to observe that? My SDS200 would ignore the Encryption and simply keep scanning. I wanna use an SDR with SDRTrunk , DSDPlus, and Unitrunker too see how much is encrypted vs clear.

Encryption will still appear as a keyup until the radio decodes it enough to confirm. I saw that and paused on the freq until ENC appeared.

They appeared to have dragged GOOSE11 - 14 from North Carolina.
OTIS 61 did 360° turn NW of Ann Arbor & changed his callsign to AGONY 22. North of Clare MI he dropped off GOOSE 14 & he went to Traverse City. AGONY 22 made a right turn after passing Houghton Lake & GOOSE 11 popped up a few minutes later & went to the Grayling Army airfield then he circled the Range & went back to the airfield. GOOSE 14 departed TVC for NC. GOOSE 11 also went to TVC & as far as I know he's still there.
Watching all this happen on ADSB EXCHANGE.

The CH-47's are hanging out at Wurtsmith.

Between the cornfields and the pastures, Michigan.
Caught a lot overnight around 0200 on the Steelgate drop zone frequencies- Primarily 266.600, RED HORSE 03 talking to GUARDIAN AIR about software issues and an alternator failure.

I've had a significant uptick in loggings over the last 24 hours. LOTS of refueling and action in HERSEY MOA on 226.025. I presume it is all tied to the Northern Strike exercises.
