It is known that SG-1 had an impact on USAF enlistments. The show got a good deal on access to military assets for filming, but they weren’t under duress to change the show at the behest of the USAF. The deal was that an adviser would give them notes, and they chose to adhere to the notes or not. I think as the show got more futuristic they had less of a deal with them.
It’s basically the government thanking them for making propaganda
