============ OGRE/GEV list, Sep 7th (Last: Aug 31st) ============= ===== Crewing requirements. From: Robert Gurskey ------------------------------ From: Robert Gurskey Subject: Crewing requirements. I recently discovered the OGRE/GEV website and am slowly working my way through the '97 newsletters (?). Has the following topic been discussed; what are the crew complements of the various fighting vehicles. I know the LGEV is single manned but no other vehicle's crew has been described. Also, if scenarios existed which started with abandoned vehicles, who could operate them. Could 3 heavy tanks spare one crewman each in order to get a fourth heavy tank operating? Can infantry operate vehicles? Or would this require special skills like an engineer squad. Thanks for listening and hope to be added to the mailing list soon. ----- [I agree with the argument for the three-man main battle tank as given in: http://www.pica.army.mil/orgs/fsac/sad/1995/sepoct/art3pg1.html But, I think the two-man light tank is also about right. (Ask Leona Ozaki (http://www.gre.ac.uk/~bm10/anime/dominion.html). Just don't tell her about giant intelligent tanks.) Since the man in the LGEV is a lieutenant are any GEV wings of Air Force extraction? -HJC] Henry J.
