When commanding a gunner, clearly define the gunner’s left and right arcs using bearings, clock-ray, or landmarks. Set ROE based on threat level: “Hold Fire”, “Priority Targets Only”, or “Fire at Will”. Use the gunner’s optics to verify distant threats. Update crew on friendly positions to avoid friendly fire. Account for differences between the commander's and gunner’s viewpoints. Keep the gun’s orientation in mind when manoeuvring in close terrain to avoid jarring impacts.
