Guide: Part IX - Water
Combat Team - Munitions Officer
PROFILE
- MUNITIONS OFFICER
The munitions officer is vital for any water
combat team. Good mun. officers are able to carry good amounts of water
and able to refill basically any water weapon quickly and efficiently.
The mun. officers role is vital since, without water, the combat team
would find their weapons being left high and dry while the enemy easily
drenches them until they are cold and wet.
Since the mun. officer's
job is to watch over the stockpile of ammo, their job is to guard the
water supply and ensure water bottles, water balloons, back-up weapons,
etc. are filled and ready for use. Typically, mun. officers end up guarding
the base (if there is one) or water bottle supplies when the team is on
the move. As the enemy may find filled water bottles a good target to
go for, the mun. officer should be aware and be well-armed to deal with
any incursions into friendly space.
TIPS
- should maintain
group's supply of water bottles, water balloons, back-up weapons, etc.
- must be familiar
with various methods of loading water weapons quickly and efficiently
- must always work
for the good of the team
SUGGESTED WEAPONRY

than attack. A good medium-to-large-sized weapon would be recommended.
SUGGESTED NON-STANDARD
EQUIPMENT
- walkie-talkies
if available
