With the possible exception of the US Navy (during the Vietnam War years), primarily CREW served weapons crewmen are armed with sidearms. Examples:
1. Aircraft crewmen
2. Tank crewmen (officially classified as ARMOR CREWMEN during the Vietnam War)
3. Machinegun crews
4. Officers, to include naval officers
5. Military Policemen
Note: The military sidearm (pistol/revolver) has traditionally been considered a self defense weapon. The rifle/tank/aircraft (bomber)/machine gun are offensive weapons.
