Hornady has stated since the start that the unnamed DoD unit asked for a ar15/m4/m16 cartridge to replace their 7.62/308 chambered rifles.
Since 556 is the standard milspec issued round that to me suggest they wanted too do any with their DMR/sniper rifles chambered in 7.62 in favor of a rifle system/cartridge in the same weight class as the ar15/m4/m16, that could be used as a DMR/Sniper round and have 24 round mag capacity if needed to lay down a volume of fire if needed.
Somehow my mind just saw what it expected to see and the actual stated info didn't sink in.
