First off, I agree blue teams do not pen test, red teams do. In just about all pentesting, even if there are no defined restrictions (which most cases would be), there will be some common things you do not do with customer information. One is drag password hashes across an ISP that either the customer is not comfortable with or you have no control over. With the fact that this is a govt customer I could understand some of the reluctance.
This is what is called risk management, without constraining the ability of the red team to work outside the box. Sounds to me like both parties need to sit back down at the "scope table" to define what the goal here really is.

Plan
Prepare letter of consent, and letter of instruction. Blue teams do not
penn test, Red teams do. Blue teams detect, protect, react, and recover.
With your current methodology, you could lose your work.

Subject: Blue Team ROE
List,
I wanted to send out a general email asking the members of this list
their professional opinions on being limited during a Blue Team
pen-test. I have a govt customer that is trying deny us the ability to
remove password hashes/files from the system for cracking, write
procedures for every tool/exploit that could be possibly executed, not
allow the loading of any tools/exploits on target systems, things like
that..... Of course my reaction is that my company will not perform the
assessment with such restrictions, what are some thoughts from this list
on this subject?
