Do all Still Photography Specialists get assigned a Combat Photography mission? I'll be joining in 2017

Are all combat photographers armed with pistol or M4?
I saw some without.

I always wonder what people have against stuff like this, calling it propaganda. If it is, who cares? Propaganda is harmful and helpful. It spreads the ideals of a certain group which can implicitly or outright put itself over an opposing ideal. that doesnt mean its bad. some propaganda is bad, but giving a positive view on combat photography while many believe in just the bad is a good thing, one sided in itself but that's what its supposed to do when everyone else wants to see the other side.
