I wear leggings sometimes in the winter. You'll find that most males also do this when temperatures outside are -10 degrees celcius or below. This is also historically correct for much milder climates, although the gender-related fashion is a 20th century thing. Baby boys were put in dresses when born in many parts of the western world, and many "typically female" garments have once or are still now worn around the world outside of "free-dressing" or "cross-dressing" males.

I'm pretty sure (without having been posted in the military ever) that military field operatives would be required (or benefit from) the use of whatever clothing is appropriate. Leggings, incidentally in many interpretations of the world mean underwear tights (close-fitting trouser/pant like garment that follows the human body shape and are often made of wool or man-made thermo-insulating textiles). They are not really like the pink, blue and red outside of under-clothing leg-warmers popular in the US in the early 80s and highlighted in the film and T.V. series, "Fame".
