Armored Assault Vehicle Crew Members
Military Specific
Combat on land or in the water means driving tanks, light armor, and amphibious assault vehicles and using their targeting and firing systems. Onboard communications and navigation equipment have to be operated and kept working, as do auxiliary weapons such as machine guns and grenade launchers. Crews also transport personnel and equipment through those same combat environments. Specialized training is required to drive the vehicles. It suits people who like operating heavy armor, maintaining weapons and electronics on board, and working in land and water combat settings.
