Just curious... What is the purpose and function of the rumbleseat slantback rear hatch?

[TOBASH]

So, I have a slantback. I have never used the rumbleseat option but it is there... But why?

Thanks,

For the loader to load the tow missle after it’s fired...from the inside.

It also protects the gunner from stray rounds coming downrange.
