G Division's general duties consist of receiving, stowing, and issuing all general purpose aviation ordnance on board ROOSEVELT. The division also assembles conventional free fall weapons for coordinated delivery to the flight deck. They are also responsible for supplying a vertical replenishment team for receiving stores and ammunition via the flight deck. Along with the above responsibilities, good housekeeping and the security of ammunition plays an extremely important part of the efficient operation of ROOSEVELT. Before ammunition is received G Division is busy preparing for its arrival by preserving magazines and setting up designated areas for stowage. G Division is set up in 5 crews, Aft and Forward Bomb Assemblies, Hangar Deck Ordnance, Elevator Maintenance and the Flight Deck Crew. Each man is specially trained in the duties he must perform during various ordnance evolutions. Working in full force with Carrier Air Group Nineteen, G Division keeps the striking ability of ROOSEVELT at 1OO !0 efficiency.
