Can anyone provide the policy on the use of commercial licensed military pictures on websites?
Each Service should have their own version.
I highly reccomend going through https://dvidshub.net to get your photographs.
DVIDS - Defense Video & Imagery Distribution System
Providing news, images, audio, video, and publications from military operations around the world. Browse current as well as archived content.

There are also pay for sites where you buy the rights to use the images.
Depending on the type of images you want you should be maybe able to get them from here or on Facebook just by asking for free.
Maybe type up a consent for use form to have anyone who donates pictures to sign.
I have also notice that "military" pictures off of iStock (now Getty I believe) are sooooo bogus.
When in doubt, caption a link back to the original source or simply create original content.

That being said Sir, any images at any point, no matter the classification, can be reclassified by the owner of that image. Even if classified on Google for reuse, that owner could in theory contact you for compensation (unlikely, but possible).
