​Hmm, that makes sense.
(D)ARPAnet initially had fixed routing, not useful in damage-prone
environment.
It was ​TCP/IP that introduced adaptive routing around damage.
(USEnet evolved adaptive routing, i don't recall how that was related .)

Also note that the Military nearly adopted the ISO OSI protocol stack not
the TCP/IP Internet stack, even though DARPA had subsidized the
(pre-Web/NSF/NSCC) development !
