Story by Staff Writer Shaft Today we look at G.I. Joe Steeler. His PMS is “Armor” and SMS is “Artillery” and “Transportation”. He is listed as a “Tank Commander”. A tank commander is actually a position in an armor platoon in the US Army (four tanks per platoon, four soldiers per tank). So there are four “tank commanders” per platoon, each leading their own tank. The actual platoon leader would be an officer of the rank of lieutenant and also serve as that tanks “tank commander”. The other three tank…
