While this might be a bit morbid: I think a lot of the soldiers deployed with proper MOPP gear will have been vaporized by 2000. Post-TDM replacements will likely have older gear if they have anything at all. Units that have been in-theater from TDM onward will have long run out of consumables for their MOPP gear.
There would likely be enough supply for the PCs to be equipped, the 5ID might have scraped together supplies for their "raid" but the average NPC might only have makeshift gear.
