"Soldier" means different things to different people.

Some officers in all USA service branches are not issued nor ever trained with firearms.

And some US Army people were issued AR10's a couple of years ago. Others were issued bolt action rifles chambered for the 7mm Remington Short-Action Ultra-Magnum.

According to a retired US Army colonel neighbor, some soldiers are not issued firearms of any type although they may well have been trained and familiarized with them upon entry into the service.
