I've never been in the army, but honestly if I was actually in that situation I think I'd just bring the Swiss Army Soldier knife. The Smatchet was meant more as a joke, although I do have one in my collection and have always been fascinated by the knife and the designer, William E. Fairbairn.The Smatchet would be useful at close range, but would it be worth the weight penalty if you're carrying a lot of armor, ammo, and 1 or 2 firearms? Not to mention radios and other commo devices, GPS, food, water, binos, NVGs, batteries- you get the picture.
