This TC provides standardized driver training and testing for the high mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicle (HMMWV) operator in accordance with AR 600-55. It stresses hands-on training with minimal classroom instruction. It does not include any theater-unique requirements. It teaches the novice (inexperienced) driver to operate the HMMWV. It also can be used to teach the apprentice driver. (The apprentice driver is a driver that has been driving military vehicles for at least one year.) The apprentice driver may learn to operate the HMMWV in less time than the novice, assuming that skills learned on other military vehicles are positive skills transferable to operating a HMMWV. The trainer must realize that a positive transfer of skills does not always occur. Conceivably, the apprentice driver might need more training than the novice driver to safely operate the HMMWV. To effectively execute it, each instructor should ensure their HMMWV operators are trained and tested to the standards contained in it. It was specifically designed for the HMMWV system to include PMCS and vehicle operations.
