Multiple Choice

Cannoneer #3 places the projectile onto the loading tray only after verification by the Section Chief.

Safety and proper loading sequence require that a supervisor’s verification happen before any projectile is handled. The Section Chief’s check confirms the correct projectile type, lot, and condition, and that it matches the current firing order and safety standards. With that verification in place, placing the projectile onto the loading tray is the appropriate next step, ensuring the crew only handles and loads ammunition that has been formally approved for use. This protects against misloads, damaged rounds, and unsafe conditions in the weapon system.
