Absolutely - Combat action doesn't discriminate by rank. The most common senior examples today would by Navy SEAL Team members, though there are other examples (ship and submarine) that can be deemed as direct combat if the situation arises. It's less common these days than in WWII, Korea or Vietnam, but it can happen.

Can an officer within the 75th Ranger Regiment use a LMG durning a mission.?
No. The function of an officer is to lead and direct, not move as part of a fire team. The M249s will remain with the squad automatic riflemen, whose function is to primarily engage the enemy directly. As an officer, you would be much to busy to serve concurrently in a fire suppression role, and assigning an officer a weapon such as the M249 only takes away from the platoon's overall firepower. Not all, but many line officers who see combat service will never even fire a shot.
