It's probably like in the US military, at least circa 2006:

"A 2006 thesis from the Naval Postgraduate School states that 
 internet relay chat (IRC) is one of the most widely used chat 
 protocols for military command and control (C2).  Software such as 
 mIRC, a Windows-based chat client, or integrated systems in C2 
 equipment are used primarily in tactical conditions though efforts 
 are underway to upgrade systems to newer protocols." ...

All the US' military-specific encrypted message standards, network
infrastructure, and untold millions spent, and soldiers on the
ground just used IRC.

This US defence contractor still lists "cross protocol
communication" with IRC as one of the key features of their secure
chat system:
