Absolutely not.... She will be issued an M-9. If you try to send her a weapon it, she will never receive it and it will be confiscated.
Also you will probably receive an unfriendly knock at your door and she could possibly receive some non-judicial punishment if she knew anything about it.

She's not legally allowed to bring a personal weapon into a combat theatre. I doubt she'll need it anyway. She'll be issued a weapon, plus each helicopter is well armed.
If you're a former Marine, you should already know this. Don't risk getting her into unnecessary trouble out there.

I was with KBR in Iraq in the recent past and am certain that Uncle Sam will issue her a nice M9 to carry. If she is lucky she will never have to unholster it.
