Every branch of service has their own Military Occupational Specialties (MOS's). Only a very few examples follow, for the Vietnam War:
US Army: Armor (tank) Crewman, his duties might be pumping grease into the hubs of his tanks road wheels, and there were six sets per side, of his M-48 Patton tank.
An Armored Cavalryman might be adjusting the track suspension on his M-551 Sheridan tank, or the Mechanized Infantryman might be cleaning his track mounted .50 caliber machingun, and then adjusting the "head space and timing of it." The grunt will be airing his feet off by taking off his boots, and cleaning his M-14 rifle in the early days, or his M-16 rifle later in the war.
The helicopter crewmen will be performing similar duties to their choppers.
US Air Force airmen will be cleaning, repairing, re-fuelling, and re-arming their F-100 Supersaber jet fighter planes, F-101 Voodoo jets, F-102 Delta Dagger jets, F-104
Starfighters, F-105 Thunderchiefs, B-57 Canberra and B-52 Stratofortress bombers for their next missions.
US Navy sailors of the "Brown Water Navy" will be cleaning their over and under combination mortar/.50 caliber machingun located aft (the rear deck) on their Swift Boat (Patrol Craft Fast-PCR), or working on guns of their PBR (Patrol Boat River), Alpha Boat (Assault Support Patrol Boat), or Monitor (River Battleship).In between those duties all of them will just live to eat and sleep. Until their tour is over.
