I would assume this now applies to wherever.

Member of U.S. military in Iraq- Bringing goods back to the U.S.

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) regulations prohibit military personnel from bringing souvenir weapons (i.e. firearms, handguns and parts thereof) into the United States from Iraq. Therefore, when returning with weapons assigned to you by the military, you should ensure you have your military orders, which authorizes you to carry the firearm. Otherwise, you will not be allowed to enter the U.S. with the firearm. Switchblade knives returning with military personnel or members of the Special Forces are restricted (Military personnel check with your program manager at US Central Command for directives.)

* Military regulations do not supersede federal regulations and troops must comply with ALL regulations when entering goods into the United States.

And so it goes...
