Standard. You must score at least 70 on the end-of-subcourse examination.
AMMUNITION MILVAN
The MILVAN used for carrying ammunition (figure 2-1) is a fabricated steel container with a mechanical load-
bracing system that can be adjusted to meet most load requirements. (Only MILVANs with load-bracing systems
