As Ammo Team Chief, I commanded a crew of 2-5 soldiers with in the carrier ammunition tracked aka the Cat. The cat is an armored vehicle utilized for the purpose of storing, maintaining, transport and distribution of a variety of ammunition, charges, fuses and primers for its counterpart, The Paladin, M109A7 self propelled howitzer cannon.

During field exercises the crew and myself were tasked with maintaining a running count of all the aforementioned items listed and to whom those items were distributed to; the cannons on the firing line.

To main to the mission of timely and accurate fires from our gun line which would range from 3 to 6 cannons total, we were constantly counting, preparing, and distributing an assortment of rounds by driving up the rear of the gun line and stopping at each gun individually.

The rounds are 106 to 124 lb a piece, each gun would store 42 round, 26 canisters of charges and 2 to 3 cases of fuses and primers.

We were to monitor the radios and maintain our own count from each gun as well as receive the count the gun has, quickly make corrections if needed and distribute accordingly.

seconds were precious.

My crew were amazing, despite the rough terrain, the weight of the rounds and the seemingly never ending fire missions, we stayed motivated, dedicated and remain on top in terms of success as a ammo distribution.

As ammo team chief I had to make sure I was the most motivated, even if I secretly wasn't. I would maintain my position topside with a driver up front and 3 to 4 in the rear of the vehicle.

Once firing had ceased we would have the task of policing the area for trash and dunnage from packing supplies for the items previously listed within mandated time frame so as to move to the next area to begin again.
