The same policy was in effect is SE Asia 35 years ago.
We had a recruiter for civilain contracotors (welding) come to our high school in 1968 offering all sorts of money to anyone intersted in switching over to a trade school, then going over to Viet Nam to ply their new found trade. One of the first questions asked was what types of arms we'd be allowed to carry.
None - was the response. Protection was to be provided by the military.
The policy was largly ignored then as I'm sure it will be now.
I've know quite a few of the civilian contractors that put in time over there through the years. Every single one of them packed when they were there.
