The driver is typically the junior member of the crew. He moves the armor in a tactical fashion from one tactical position to another, at the commanders orders, locating and positioning the armor in hull-down and other protected positions when possible, with the assistance of the Vehicle Commander (VC). Scanning to the front for mines, satchels, IEDs, and other threats or suspicious objects (such as oddly parked cars) that may be placed in his path all the while listening to the commander or gunner for movement orders. Finally, staying alert of friendly infantry positions and attempting to avoid them when tactically sound. The driver should also attempt to communicate his intent to reverse when in tight terrain with infantry nearby (e.g. MOUT).

The gunner is responsible for employing the bulk of the armors armaments. He scans for the enemy. A gunner who is not scanning constantly is not doing his job, calling out contacts as he sees them. This helps the armor commander prioritize his fires as needed. The gunner should be listening for and acting on the vehicle commanders orders. An armor gunner oftentimes has a restricted view of the surroundings compared to what the commander sees, so it is important that he listens for orders and direction from those that can see more than him.
