GM Division is the division which is responsible for the missile house and Talos missiles within it.  The varied tasks performed by the division require two ratings, FTMs and GMMs.  The FTMs are responsible for the complex electrical and hydraulic systems within the missile.  It is their hard work which ensures that all the missiles on board are ready to fly at a monent's notice to protect the ship from air or surface attack.
The GMMs maintain the powerful hydraulic and pneumatic equipment used to move the missiles from place to place and ultimately to the launcher, pointed in the right direction for firing.
