Multiple Choice

Which Cannoneer selects and prepares the commanded shell/fuze combination?

The task of choosing the exact shell and fuze and getting it ready to fire rests with the ammunition handler on the crew. This person must know what shell type is commanded, what fuze setting is required, and perform the fuze installation and safety checks so the round is correct and safe to load. In this scenario, Cannoneer #5 is the designated ammunition handler, so they handle selecting the commanded shell and preparing the shell/fuze combination. The other crew members focus on handling, loading, and supporting the firing sequence, not on making the shell/fuze selection.
