tank driver
Armored vehicle crewman
A tank driver is the crew member who operates and steers a military tank.
Also called a driver or, in some armies, a hull driver since they sit in the tank's hull rather than its turret.
The role requires skill in maneuvering heavy armored vehicles across difficult terrain: The tank driver navigated through the mud while the commander directed fire.
