The US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) issues relatively few Secrecy Orders each year, and the reasons are typically vague. If you have a Secrecy Order imposed on your patent application, ask your attorney how much experience he or she has with such matters.
As I a former active duty military officer, I have seen what happens on the government side of the Secrecy Order review process. So I have experience with secrecy orders from all angles: government, an attorney representing an applicant, and an inventor with patent applications that have been subject to secrecy orders.
