They're not issued anymore. Most soldiers taking lighters to the field with them will bring disposable butane lighters. Quite a few do carry Zippos they purchase from the PX or BX. Still others, especially overseas, may purchase lighters of local manufacture. While stationed in Germany, I carried a truly windproof lighter that I traded with a German police officer for. It was battery operated and required no liquid or gas fuel.
