While I don't know the rationale for the creation of the 703-602 DOD prefix, it was not to absorb the users from 694. 703-602 seems to have been created using some of the users of 202-692, and additionally had a new Autovon prefix established (332- , where the 692 prefix was Autovon 222). Regarding what happens to the 202-694 users, I quote the following from a Navy newsletter: "Effective 1 October 1990, all (202) 694-XXXX DOD telephone numbers will be changed to (703) 614-XXXX. This is necessary because local Washington Metropolitan area telephone companies are instituting new dialing procedures to provide for future residential and business growth. AUTOVON prefixes will not be affected. You may still dial AUTOVON 224-XXXX for all new (703) 614-XXXX commercial numbers."
