OVERVIEW You will operate and maintain a tank or reconnaissance vehicle, its weapon systems and its communication equipment. You will be trained to fight as members of the Combat Arms team. WHAT THEY DO Each Armoured Soldier belongs to one of the Armoured regiments of the Canadian Army, and serves as a member of the crew of an armoured fighting vehicle (AFV). His or her primary duties are to operate and maintain the AFV, its weapon systems (ballistic computers, laser range-finders and thermal sights as well as guns) and its communication equipment (sophisticated radars and radios). Armoured Soldiers are trained to fight as members of the Combat Arms team, which also includes the Infantry, the Artillery and the Combat Engineers. Armoured Soldiers begin their career with one of two types of AFV: the tank or the reconnaissance (recce) vehicle. As a member of a tank crew trained as a driver, operator or gunner, an Armoured Soldier has the following primary duties: Drive and maintain the tank; Fire the tank's main gun; Load the tank's main gun and machineguns; and Maintain the tank's communications equipment. As a member of a recce vehicle crew trained as a driver or an observer, an Armoured Soldier has the following primary duties: Drive and maintain the recce vehicle; Load, fire and maintain the recce vehicle's machine-guns; Maintain and operate the recce vehicle's radio equipment; and Gather and relay information about the enemy and the terrain.
