This looks fine at a first glance. Check if script has (1) executable 
permissions; (2) proper shebang at script's first line.
(I assume you are sure you do have the script stored on remote host's 
/tmp/dod_java_certs/insert_certs.sh at time of executing this ... do you?)

Here the reason is you violate the yaml format;
the correct args definition would be (note the semicolon after chdir):

    command: insert_certs.sh
    args:
      chdir: /tmp/dod_java_certs/

(see http://docs.ansible.com/command_module.html  "Examples")
