Here's the trick. Go to: http://dodpki.c3pki.chamb.disa.mil/rootca.html
Then it will say this silly message about you "not using a supported web browser", and will not display the cert links. No problem, just *View Source* (hit Ctrl+U).

Then, from a terminal, cd to the directory, then run:
{{for n in *.p7b; do certutil -d sql:$HOME/.pki/nssdb -A -t TC -n $n -i $n; done}}

It should immediately start working, and you can test it by looking for the green {. color:green}https{/} in the URL bar for DoD web sites (such as https://www.us.army.mil ). Also, you do not get annoying certificate warnings. Also, the following should show the results of your cert import:
{{certutil -d sql:$HOME/.pki/nssdb/ -L}}
