Which role is the support security element in an anti-armor hunter-killer team?

• A. Medic
• B. Ammo man/automatic weapons
• C. Team leader/communications
• D. Gunner

Answer: (B)

The support security element in an anti-armor hunter-killer team is the ammo man/automatic weapons. This role is focused on ammunition management and providing immediate, suppressive fire to protect the team as they maneuver, reload, or prepare to engage a target. Having a dedicated ammo bearer who can also bring an automatic weapon to bear ensures continuous protection and rapid resupply, which is essential for maintaining stealth, momentum, and safety during the mission. The team leader/communications handles command and radios, the medic cares for casualties, and the gunner operates the anti-armor launcher—none of these are primarily about providing the security fire and ammo support that the ammo man offers.
