Yes, tactical tomahawks are standard issue with infantry and special operators. Tomahawks are a versatile tool and, of course, a deadly close combat weapon when used in properly trained hands.

I knew privately owned tomahawks were allowed and have been in continuous use in the army, but I didn’t know that they were available as standard issue.

As someone who never even got to see the Airborne switchblade that was always claimed to exist, and was supposedly ready to be issued at some mysterious point, do you have any links to mention of tomahawks as being formally issued?
