In a somewhat surprising move, the filmmakers outfitted the U.S. Soldiers with M16A1 rifles - 5.56x45mm. Also the helmet covers are O.D. and not woodland and they have the Anti IR Night Camo smocks (and possibly the 6-tone Day Desert camouflage uniforms under the smocks (note the neck/collar section of the soldiers)) from Operation Desert Storm.
