The US military still gives pilots "go pills" which is mild amphetamine. Most armed forces during WWII issued go pills to troops during the war to keep them alert for combat.

In modern times especially enemy combatants in Iraq during the US tenure there used methamphetamine and artificial adrenaline.

In Finland, Pervitin was included in the gear of LRRP units from October 1941 onwards. How much it was used during patrols, I don't know.
