Where does the Gunner sit when moving in the prime mover?

The Gunner sits directly behind the Chief in the prime mover for several reasons related to command structure and operational efficiency. This positioning allows the Gunner to maintain a clear line of sight to the Chief, facilitating effective communication and coordination. Being directly behind the Chief provides the Gunner with immediate access to critical information and instructions, essential for executing artillery operations.

This seating arrangement ensures that the Gunner is close enough to the Chief to receive commands without the potential delays that could arise from being positioned farther away. Additionally, the layout of the cabin in most prime movers is structured to enhance teamwork and rapid response during operations, making it crucial for the Gunner to be in a position where they can quickly assist and react based on the Chief's directives.

Overall, this setup is designed to streamline the crew’s collaboration, ensuring that artillery operations remain effective and efficient during movement and setup phases.
