What is the role of an Ordnance Soldier?

• A. To manage medical logistics
• B. To maintain superiority in mobility, firepower, and communications.
• C. To train infantry
• D. To oversee personnel assignments

Answer: (B)

Ordnance Soldiers keep the Army’s weapons, ammunition, and equipment ready and serviceable, which directly supports how quickly and effectively units can move, how much firepower they can deliver, and how reliably their communications gear works. Through preventive maintenance, fault diagnosis, repairs, and handling of munitions and related equipment, they ensure mobility by keeping vehicles and gear in working order, reinforce firepower by ensuring weapons and ammo function properly, and maintain communications gear so units stay connected under stress. Medical logistics belongs to health services, training infantry is a combat arms role, and overseeing personnel assignments is administrative work—these are different specialties outside ordnance.
