Nope. For the Army at least. This practice has largely been abandoned by the Army. If it is still in practice anywhere, it's rare at best. In fact, in 14 years, both on the conventional Army side and SOF side, I've never heard of the Army issuing any stimulants to anyone for operational purposes (to include having a PFC in one platoon during my 10th Mountain time who was a bona-fide, getting medically chaptered narcoleptic).

This has been replaced by Rip-Its, Monsters, Red Bulls, Rock Stars, Jack3D, N.O. Xplode and the like...
