|
|
|
CID Process serves what 3 purposes?
|
Identify and classify targets in the OE.

What is the VC's sector of responsibility during open hatch operations?
|
360 degrees, however, when the loader observes from the hatch, the VC observes from the front of the gun mantle, clockwise, to the left rear of the turret.
|
|
|
What is the loader's sector of responsibility during open hatch operations?
|
from the right front of the gun mantle, counterclockwise, to the right rear of the turret, and is primary air guard when not inside the turret.
