OV-1 Mohawk

[Chief]

Don't they issue some sort of sidearm or small-arm weapon for self-defense in case of a hostile encounter.

Ofcourse a 9mm, but that is only carried in war time and not really safety equipment.

Depends on the aircraft. It was either kept between the Crew Chief seats or in a special compartment in the cabin. It all depended on the load and what equipment was being carried. Standardized was between the crew seats but with certain equipment that we had to carry in combat, it went into the compartment.
