Really? There is some benefit from that - enhanced recovery and reduced atrophy as the mission distracts them from their training protocol. But the greatest benefit from the steroids I would have expected to come during training. ie. They'd be able to do much more of it as well as come in with 15kg more thug.
The Danish army, which I'm currently a part of, do not condone steroids; they particularly campaign against them. Long term use isn't worth it compared to the investment they make in the soldiers. But it's probably fair to note that the Danish army and the American one aren't quite agreeing on a lot of issues regarding the health of their soldiers. Mental or otherwise.
Oh, sorry, I completely missed that you were asking about steroids, not amphetamines. I don't know anything specific about those. My best guess would be that they are used by various members but with no particular official sanction beyond a disinclination to pry ('whatever gets the job done and you meeting your physicals').
