This TC provides a training program for the wheeled vehicle operator of light vehicles (2 1/2 tons or less) in accordance with AR 600-55. It provides standardized training and testing in the operation, maintenance, and safety of light vehicles. It can be used to train drivers of tactical or commercially designed vehicles. It stresses hands-on training with minimal classroom instruction, but it does not include any theater-unique requirements. Instructions are written in general terms because it includes driver tasks for several vehicles. For this reason, the appropriate vehicle operator’s manual must be used along with it. During the development of it, it was assumed that each driver candidate would have a state driver’s license and some past driving experience. Less experienced soldiers will require additional subjects and time to train to these standards. To provide effective training, each instructor should ensure his operators are trained and tested to the standards contained in it.
NOTE: AR 600-55 Supersedes PAM 611-125
