My question is about the crew and troop compartments. Is it possible to move from the crew area to the troop compartment internally within the vehicle? I imagine not, but don't know.

Also, the gunner's position: is it possible to move from one of the other crew positions (driver or commander) to the gun position easily enough? I imagine yes, but don't know.

Thanks for any help!

- unfortunately that is a "non-combat vehicle" (maybe NBC or commo?) so it doesn't show a turret basket

However this:

shows a 3d-CAD model of the inside, and as you can see the basket is entirely open, so movement into and out of the gunner position is entirely possible for someone inside the vehicle, as well as movement forward to the driving/command positions.
