We had an armorer at the company level. http://fas.org/man/dod-101/army/unit/toe/05427L000.htm Yup, still one there. === And *that* is a lot of stuff: road graders, cranes, gen sets, a gazillion radios, etc, etc. Were weapons listed in there someplace? Oh, now they call what used to be the mechanized battalion, ENGINEER COMPANY, ENGINEER BATTALION, HEAVY DIVISION/ http://fas.org/man/dod-101/army/unit/toe/05337F000.htm Looks like they don't call them 'Mechanized Infantry' anymore. === 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. Didn't you guys have to qualify or familiarize annually? Having worked with Army Reserve units, I would easily believe what you said. Sometime I'll tell you about the Reserve Diving Detachment I had 'grounded' in San Diego. |
