This TC provides a training program for the HETS in accordance with AR 600-55. It provides standardized training and testing in the operation, maintenance, and safety of the HETS. It stresses more hands-on training and less classroom instruction. It does not include any theater unique requirements. During the development of it, it was assumed that each driver candidate would have a state driver’s license. The driver should also have extensive experience driving a 5-ton tractor and semitrailer or larger combination vehicle. To provide effective training, each instructor should ensure operators are trained and tested to the standards in it.
