To the best of my knowledge, that claim is not accurate. Police are issued hollow points because over-penetration is a much bigger concern in an urban, civilian area. In a military context, over-penetration is less of a concern, FMJ ammo is much cheaper, and the 1899 Hague Convention (which the US did not actually sign, but most other major powers did) technically forbid it. Special forces have been using hollow points for a while though, and they were adopted for general use by the US Army in 2015 along with the new M17 (Sig Sauer P320) sidearm.
