Speed Graphics certainly were the normal issued camera, but there are plenty of photographs that show WW2 Signal Corps photographers with Leicas (and a number of other similar "miniature" cameras). The military had it's own version of the Kodak 35, designated by them as the PH-324, so they weren't 100% adverse to 35mm on an official level.
