Yes, indeed. Very few military units worldwide receive similarly dedicated blade training, if any.

I wondered if even a limited military application has necessitated using a more practical scabbard (webbing or leather)?

Kydex as shown in the link. I guess this is what most folks would choose for limited operations including airborne and waterborne (is that a word?) deployment.
However, wooden scabbards are definitely jungle-proven for long-term use. Not sure wether the jury is still out what is superior in wet-tropical climates nowadays?
