Which option is not a machine gun equipment symbol?

• A. Light Machine Gun Equipment Symbol (249)
• B. Medium Machine Gun Equipment Symbol (240)
• C. Heavy Machine Gun Equipment Symbol
• D. Brigade support area (BSA)

Answer: (D)

The important point is distinguishing weapon asset symbols from location/area symbols in military map symbology. Light machine gun, medium machine gun, and heavy machine gun symbols all represent actual weapon equipment assets. The Brigade Support Area, on the other hand, is a location/area symbol used to mark a logistics or support zone, not a weapon. So the symbol that is not a machine gun equipment symbol is the Brigade Support Area.
