You probably didn't have a dedicated armorer whose job it was to

Yup, still one there.

And *that* is a lot of stuff: road graders, cranes, gen sets, a

Were weapons listed in there someplace?

Oh, now they call what used to be the mechanized battalion, ENGINEER
COMPANY, ENGINEER BATTALION, HEAVY DIVISION/

I was in HQ Company for the 411th Engineering Brigade based out of Ft
Tilden, NY for the 2nd half of my Army Reserve stint. I don't think I
ever saw a weapon the whole time other than the Nike Missile base that
was hidden away in the sand dunes.
