i can see requiring normal enlisted guys (up to a certain rank or something??) to carry all the same stuff.

At 4th Force we gave our 1911 to MARSOC, so we had supressor ready m9. MARSOC also uses g19 for concealed carry.
Current unit uses supressor ready m9 and g19.
Team leader will dictate what type of firearm individuals will carry but everyone carried the same pistol to standardize ammo/mag
