Global Entry for active duty military?

One of my children is now active duty military. I got her enrolled in Global Entry several years before she enlisted, and now her membership needs to be renewed. I can't find any discussion on whether members of the military get "automatic" Global Entry. I know they get automatic Pre-Check by putting their military ID number into the known traveler number box on their airline tickets. Pre-check is nice but, obviously, having Global Entry is better. The problem is that ordinary Global Entry renewal often requires an interview. I just started the renewal process for another child and they're requiring an interview -- and interview slots are ridiculously hard to get. (Last year my wife and I renewed and I also had to interview, but my wife did not). There's basically no way my enlisted child could get to an interview given how problematic interview slots are. Any suggestions on how to deal with this?
