Interesting that some of these guys are even trimming them in the field.
That indicates they had the means to shave.

Shaving was mandatory and enforced except in the most extreme instances in the US military.

one issue overlooked here is the problems with facial wounds and beards,
Especially with large lacerations.
That issue is specifically addressed in medic training.
