USMC...issued knife?

Relating to this topic....when does each service issue a bayonet/fixed blade? Is it only when they are overseas in 'hot spots' such as the middle east?

I know that they have access to Bayonets while on base but they are usually stored when not in use. I do think for instance that troops in Afghanistan right now probably carry them all the time. Not sure but definetly a good question...
 
Bayonets, rifles and sidearms are stored in the "Company Arms Room" and issued as needed. It is up to the Commanding Officer as to when and which, any of the small arms are to be issued to soldiers under his/her command.
