US military slang for an equipment operator — the person responsible for operating and maintaining heavy or specialized equipment in the field. It's a functional, no-frills job title that tells you exactly what the person does. Not glamorous, but equipment operators keep military operations moving and are essential on construction, logistics, and base-building missions.

The equipmentman had the dozer running before 0600 to clear the site.
