That may differ from a country to another, but in general if you were referring to vests, I don't think any military force supply that to regular privates, and in combat, soldiers have to find means to survive on their own.
In most cases wearing extra armor under your issued armor would be very uncomfortable and severely limit your movement. In the US Military, wearing aftermarket armor is prohibited due to the fact that it may not stand up to or meet military regulations.
Extra armor also will almost certainly be useless. Modern 1st-world militaries generally issue body armor designed to withstand the most likely threats that a soldier will face: primarily, fragmentation and blast. Extra armor above the standard amount will not increase the protection against those effects, as the existing standard armor is sufficient. Additional threats, such as direct hits from normal rifle fire, cannot be defeated by additional under-armor protection. Only ballistic plates can help with that, and even there, the protection is imperfect. No reasonable amount of anti-ballistic fibres can protect against direct modern rifle fire.
In most cases, soldiers are not allowed to wear extra body armor under their standard issue. The reason is that the military's standard issue body armor is designed to provide adequate protection, and wearing additional armor may hinder the soldier's mobility and increase the risk of overheating. However, there may be exceptions made for special operations forces or specific mission requirements.
