I had a BRKT 5.5" Teddy on my assault pack when I was in Iraq.

I have since replaced it with a 5.5" Harsey/Reeve Green Beret.

I'm a guard guy, but as an 11b, we still carry the bigger knives, I just don't carry it on my person. I haul enough stuff around as it is.

I carry a leatherman and a locking pocket knife, but there are uses for a fixed blade in the non-SF Army. At least with us, there is (maybe because we're Texans)
