In Vietnam, Forrest Gump's platoon had two key standing orders: to always stay alert and to follow direct commands from their superiors without question. These orders emphasized the importance of vigilance in combat situations and discipline within the ranks, reflecting the chaotic and dangerous environment of the Vietnam War. These principles guided the soldiers as they navigated the challenges they faced in the field.

What are the roles of each Crewman of a Challenger 2 MBT?

All (or most) tanks containing four crewmen are the same: Tank Commander (TC), Gunner (2nd in command), loader, and driver. While the loaders and drivers are almost always enlisted men, the gunners and TCs are either NCOs or Officers. Officers meaning the Platoon Leader or Company Commander. In the US military, platoon leaders are NOT commanders...commanders are signed for the equipment; they own it. Platoon leaders work for the commander; they do what the commander orders them to do. The platoon is the lowest (smallest) officer led unit in the US Army (or was at least during the Vietnam War). Below platoon level squads, sections, etc. are led by NCOs (Non-Commissioned Officers).
