Army to create new armor-aligned Bradley crew member job field

Driver, Gunner, TC, and Loader. Did you believe the Bradley magically reloaded itself… or that once the expenditure of munitions the fighting unit retired off the battlefield? BVFs are crewed specifically for a combat reason; in an infantry unit, the Infantry soldiers are not the crew. One must know the procedures for gunnery to be a component fighting force. In a Scout Platoon (19D), you also have an additional Team Member, the Observer. Every Unit has specific duties.

SGT Nickolas Ortiz - Strange comment from a "Cavalry Scout" -- have you ever seen a Bradley? Neither the M2 Bradley nor the M3 Bradley CFV ever had a "loader" as part of the crew.

On the CFV you had a driver, gunner, commander, and two observers, the TO&E was later changed to have 3 observers. On the IFV you have a driver, gunner, commander, and six infantry. In both cases the driver, gunner, and commander are vehicle crew, and everyone else is a passenger.

On the CFV they are all 19D and there is a reasonable progression because the platoon of 6 Bradleys has has slots for: 12 PFC, 12 SPC, 6 SGT, 4 SSG, 1 PSG, and one has the Platoon Leader.

In the Infantry platoon of 4 Bradleys, currently everyone other than the platoon leader is an 11B, if the army creates a new MOS for the Bradley crews, you end up with crewman slots for: 7 SPC, 2 SGT, 2 SSG, and 1 PSG. (The platoon leader rides in the vehicle commander position while mounted but is not considered part of the crew because he is supposed to dismount with his infantry platoon, the platoon sergeant is considered a crewman because he is supposed to stay mounted and command the vehicles while the infantry are dismounted)
