This TC provides a training program for the wheeled vehicle operator of medium vehicles (straight vehicles, 5 ton and greater), in accordance with AR 600-55. It can be used to train drivers of tactical or commercially- designed vehicles. Instructions in it are written in general terms because they include driver tasks for several vehicles. Therefore, use the appropriate vehicle operator’s manual in conjunction with it. While developing it, each driver candidate was assumed to have a state driver’s license and some past driving experience. Less experienced soldiers will need additional subjects and time to train to the standard. It provides standardized training and testing in the operation, maintenance, and safety of medium wheeled vehicles. It stresses hands-on training with minimal classroom instruction. It does not include any theater-unique requirements. To provide effective training, each instructor should ensure his operators are trained and tested to the standards in it.
NOTE: AR 600-55 Supersedes PAM 611-125
