It is not unusual for even Regular Army to be placed on guard duty without ammo even on military bases.
I was placed on guard duty more than a few times in El Paso/ Ft. Bliss/ Biggs without any ammo. I guarded the space shuttle when it was there many times without any ammo. I was even placed on guard duty in Saudi with no ammo in the middle of Desert Shield/Storm.
Heck I was even placed on guard duty guarding the ammo dump....without any ammo!
It was always a laugh when the Sgt of the guard would read us our "Deadly Force Authorized" orders....since we did not have any ammo!
I suppose I could have clubed them bad guys with the weapon.....
