I think I'll end up putting 'em in the artillery unit and just having them man the artillery.
What would a typical artillery team look like? Say for a Whirlwind and a Howitzer?
Is a tow vehicle and driver attached to each piece of equipment and does the driver double as another role?
Straight from Wikipedia:
The crew of the M109 consists of a section chief, driver, three gunners who prepare the ammunition, load, and fire the weapon, and two gunners who aim the cannon. The gunner aims the cannon left or right (deflection), the assistant gunner aims the cannon up and down (quadrant). The M109A6 Paladin needs only one gunner and two ammunition handlers for a total crew of six.
The M198 has a crew of 9!
M198 howitzer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
soon to be replaced by the M777 with only a crew of 5.
M777 howitzer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
These are the big daddys of course.
The M102 and the M119 are smaller but crews of 7
M102 105mm Lightweight Towed Howitzer
M119 howitzer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I don't think that includes the transportation crew. But Artillery is never in the front, and where it gets set up in needs to be dug in.
Versus a Ranger Mortar team who basically carry a 60mm mortar on their backs
