My significant other is a federal employee, and it was recently announced that all federal employees will be told to take the jab by executive order. My instinct tells me that this is a gross violation of constitutional rights, but I don't know what the best way to argue against it would be if it goes through. Do you guys have any advice other than refuse for as long as possible? I'm wracking my brain, but I really don't know what to do.

Just to give the other view, here are two things to consider:
Because remember: You cant justify your budget going up if you win your wargame, because if you can win with your current navy, why not more.
Moreover, those wargames have been rather useless in figuring out how a war would actually go down. A pre-Gulf War wargame against Iraq backed up Saddams claim that the US would face heavy losses and be stuck in the war for years. In reality, the war lasted a few days and we suffered more losses from friendly fire than enemy fire. Everything I have ever seen is that, much like the soviets before them, the Chinese are a paper dragon, especially when you count our regional allies (Japan, Taiwan, India) into the mix.
And this has meant that the military can generally survive incompetent commanders, and becomes downright apocalyptic when it has a general/admiral who knows what they are doing.
My brother got out of the Army only a few months ago, and when I talked with him about this sort of stuff, he said he thought it was a lot of freaking out over nothing. He laughed at the idea that China was a threat from the stuff he had seen, he and most of his men scoffed at the woke stuff, and I would not be surprised if, much like the woke lectures, there will be commanders falsifying vaccine records.
