The fourth sequence with the underground military base we can’t totally verify, but Anna confirms that her husband, Richard, was heavily involved in top secret military missions in the Nevada desert, and that he was always debriefed, had to sign non-disclosure agreements and take lie detector tests because of it.

Wow. A number of years ago, while in college, I had a Department of Defense Secret-level clearance to help develop high-technology military projects. However, never once did I have to take a lie detector test, nor never once was I "debriefed", even when I travelled overseas. When I quit my job I simply filled out a form stating I was still responsible for not disclosing the secrets I had learned. Furthermore, I wasn't prevented from disclosing the nature of what I was working on, except to non-American citizens. Very simple stuff compared to your description of what your friend's husband must go through. Must be ultra secret sensitive stuff if he has to go through all the stuff you mentioned - I'd have a hard time imagining what's so secret the nature of the work can not be disclosed. I'd guess Aliens and holding civilians captive would fit that category.
ps. I refused to continue working for the military because I grew to object the American military's involvement overseas and thus didn't want to help the American military anymore, so I quit that job.
