Maybe Because they're the fucking MILITARY?! They have guns! They won't worryAbout some small arms a friggn' CQB rifle and a battle rifle. EVEN IF IT'S AGAINST THE RULE BOOK! They won't use the same rules agains't the walking dead. Do you know how much would they weight? Soilders should not be encumbered, especialy when they could get outran by enemy they can't even hit in the head *ahem* walking dead*ahem*

I just read your post more carefully. As i said the army has a colossal amount of weapons and ammunition, risking soilders to get back 2 small guns sounds stupid. Plus there are many reasons why communication with Fort Lewis might have failed!
