It is a stated fact that there are different interpretations between civil and mil applications of RAS, this was bourne out by phase 1 of the CAA ATSOCAS review. If I am wrong then I am wrong, but there are differences and in my experiance this is the main one. If it were not so, why do you get so many more grumbles from GA ac about being restricted when flying VFR when recieving a service from the mil as opposed to civil. The answer is, in order to provide separation iaw with the mil interpretation of RAS standard separation has to be achieved between all ac and not just the ones flying IFR.
