' G-1 is divided into two crews. The Hangar Bay Crew is responsible for maintaining all electric forklifts and pallet jacks. The high quality of their maintenance ensures the safe transportation of ammunition throughout the ship. Additionally, they are tasked with the safe and efficient transportation of bombs, missiles and other types of ord- nance items to, from and about the hangar bays. The Flight Deck Crew is responsible for the safe movement, issue and receipt of ordnance on the flight deck. They remain con- stantly aware of which aircraft are loaded and the quantity and types of ordnance they are carrying. CW02 J. Barlow AOC D. Ketchum AOC J. Williamson A01 T. Gaskey A01 L.
