The first military use reported is the Son Tay Raid during the Vietnam War.
Widespread use came in the late 90s with the US Army Infantry getting them. I
think the USMC lagged a few years behind us. Other nationalities, I don't know about.
In game, things are bad in that timeframe, but I could see an argument to field them anyway to increase troop survivability and help the more poorly trained replacements to shoot better since their training would be rushed. YMMV, though.
Bottom line though, you could logically explain it.
