What elevation should the tube be set to for movement during an azimuth mission?

The correct elevation for movement during an azimuth mission is set to Mechanical 106. This specific elevation is designed to facilitate safe and effective maneuverability of the howitzer when it is being towed or repositioned. The choice of this elevation ensures that the howitzer maintains a low profile while still allowing for clearance of various obstacles during movement, as well as providing stability in the towing configuration.

Setting the elevation to Mechanical 106 also minimizes the risk of damage to the tube and other components of the weapon system, which could occur if the tube is set at a higher elevation that could lead to striking obstacles or impairing movement. Properly setting the elevation is essential for safe operations, helping crews focus on maintaining situational awareness and executing the mission effectively.
