Summary

Description
English: Official CID statement on the distance the turret traveled is around 50 Yards, visual calculations put it at 58+/- 5 meters according to a buddy of mine through image inspection

Bullet points of further information I obtained from Lance Gieselmann personally.

⦁Both him and SSG Barerra survived the initial explosion, (both were ejected from the turret and landed directly next to it) Barerra died during Medivac to Germany while lance died 4 times on his way, being revived each time. Both soldiers layed for some 40+ minutes before help arrived. Lance survived though he needed amputation of his left leg. SPC Campoy is assumed dead on detonation.

⦁IED Comprised of 5 155mm Artillery Shells put together packed with 100lbs of RDX. In the IED planning there were 66 total planners, 2 escaped to Syria, 2 died that night and 62 were apprehended by CID. IED was remotely detonated and took 3 months of planning.

⦁Purpose of non combat mission was to get LogPac that night. The three crew left to get dinner while the Tank Commander, a LT (name not known as of now but I probably wouldn't disclose anyways) decided to stay behind as he didn't want dinner. Positions of crewman were as follows-

     ⦁SSG Barerra in Tank Commanders position.
     ⦁SPC Gieselmann in the loaders position.
⦁SPC Campoy in drivers position.
