There's already a commercially publicized satellite that went out into geostationary orbit, matched orbit with an end of life telecom satellite, rammed a probe up its rear end to latch onto it and took control over its station keeping. Google satellite mission extension vehicle.
I'd be shocked if this isn't a capability the DoD has developed to a very high level.
