I once GMed a Brigade-sized unit raised after the TDM; players were drafted into the US Army, but told to bring their own weapons if they had any, ammunition if they had any, food, personal gear, and personal effects. Once they got to the mobilization point, they were issued uniforms and if necessary small arms, rocket launchers, food and personal effects, and vehicles. They they were used as a "hit team" by MilGov for certain special missions.

Needless to say, I put this campaign premise together primarily to allow players to equip their PCs in any way they chose, to the point of exotic weaponry and gear. The players could also be developed in any way they chose, without regard to their being veterans (though they did survive TDM and the chaos afterward). The campaign's starting date was late 2001, and it took place in the US under MilGov auspices.
