I have a question about the Rugersp101.

Was the Rugersp101 ever used by the United States Military?

Not that I know of but with Ruger you never say "Never". Ruger did sell a bunch (10,000) to France and later sold the French some more and some of those got returned to Ruger and were disposed of through Lipseys. These had a Ruger installed internal lanyard ring (according to the Reference of Ruger Firearms).

What caused you to ask this question?

To be honest with you I inherited a ruger sp101 chambered in .357 magnum with a 2.25 inch barrel several years ago. And it sparked an interest in learning everything I can about them.

This is a SP 101 3 inch 38 special sold to the French Railway Police and returned to the US.
