Turret Basket Seating
Excluding the driver, the rest of the M1 Abrams crew sits in the turret basket (the turret’s interior compartment). The gunner rides on the right of the turret toward the front. The loader is on the left side near the back. The commander rides in the back on the right side of the turret. It sounds like a practical use of space, but quite tight fitting. Thankfully, most Abrams have bustle racks for a little extra storage.
