While I can understand even the DoD can outsource some administrative tasks, I can't understand how they think to be able to support worldwide combat operations through a commercial system, where AWS will try to 'maximize shareholders value', aka profits.

Combat operations are not conducted via the unclassified networks, they're planned, communicated about and documented on classified networks that are still DoD operated.
