They are highly trained Gunner's Mate Technicians who perform work on the business end of the Poseidon missiles. They ensure that all safety standards involved in handling the missile's re-entry system are strictly adhered to and are trained to take action in the event of an accident involving one of the missiles. They perform checkouts on the components of the re-entry system and warhead, making sure that everything is in proper working order.
