During hunts for gemhearts, bridgemen will carry the bridge and place it to the next plateau. While the army is crossing the bridge, they have time to rest, but they will need to run and get ahead of the army once everyone passed. During such runs, positions in the front is preferred because of fresh air and better sight. Bridgemen will take turns for positions in a fair manner. However, if the next plateau is occupied by Parshendi forces, bridge crews will face heavy fire and almost always suffer heavy casualties because they act as easy targets to attract fire away from the main forces. Positions at the rear, which are better shielded against arrows, are preferred in this case, although the survival rate is very poor for every position.{{book ref|sa1|17}} People who refuse to follow the rules will be forced to run in the front; the position at the center is referred to as the "deathpoint" due to its high mortality rate. New recruits are often stationed at the deathpoint since they are considered expendable.{{book ref|sa1|17}}{{book ref|sa1|6}} Bridgeleaders have some power over the position arrangements and typically take the best positions for themselves.{{book ref|sa1|9}}{{book ref|twok|17}}

In normal times, the bridge crews act as man power and do various unwanted duties in the war camp. Among them is the chasm duty, which requires people to scavenge for weapons, armor or spheres from the chasms.{{book ref|twok|27}}
