Cavalry Roles

A driver does what it sounds like - drives the vehicle around the battlefield in accordance with his team leader or squad leader's directions. The driver does not dismount unless he is explicitly told to by his team leader, or when the verbal command "BAIL OUT, BAIL OUT, BAIL OUT!" is given by himself or another player.

A gunner is tasked with employing the crew-served weapon system of the vehicle, or in the case of many vehicles, the Remote Weapon System (RWS). Due to his elevated position or the use of an RWS sensor, he has better observation of the terrain than the rest of the vehicle and communicates what he sees to help maintain the rest of the vehicle's situational awareness. A gunner does not dismount the vehicle unless his crew-served weapon is empty, when he is directed to by his team leader, or when the command "BAIL OUT, BAIL OUT, BAIL OUT!" is given.

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 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.
