Air system

The system shall develop the required pressure, be drained of accumulated moisture, function

properly, and the leakage rate shall not exceed that stated in the applicable technical manual.

Amphibious vehicles

Operate in water, as well as on land, to prove waterborne operation is satisfactory and that controls

are in proper adjustment. Insure that ramps and other submerged closures are adequate and

that bilge pump and other submerged pumps perform satisfactory. If, because of local

situation, waterborne operation is not possible, inspect seals carefully and test bilge pump

operation by introducing water into the bilge and pumping it out.

Armament (main

Operate main armament breech mechanism either mechanically or electrically, utilizing

weapon and mount,
