Ink or typed corrections will be made by drawing one line through the incorrect entry and reentering the correct entry on the next open line in that section.
Procedures for incorrect or missing entries are covered below. Some incomplete or illegible data may be verified by reviewing other documents or contacting the losing unit. For example, if section III states that the driver received winter driving training, but the entry is not dated or not initialed, the Soldier may have a training certificate to verify the date that he or she received the training.
For these types of errors, the gaining unit may add the missing information or line through the illegible entry and rewrite the entry on the next line and initial next to the correction. Incorrect, incomplete, or illegible information which cannot be verified will be lined through and initialed by the gaining unit. A Soldier will not receive credit for non-verifiable entries on the driving record.
In order to receive credit, the Soldier must be retested or retrained. Skilled noncommissioned officers, experienced drivers or operators, and qualified maintenance personnel do not necessarily make good driving instructors without special training. See appendix F for an outline to assist in selecting instructors and examiners. Selecting instructors. All prospective instructors and assistant instructors must—. Instructor certification.

Sustainment training is periodic driver training conducted to maintain a high level of driver skill proficiency and to. Sustainment training should incorporate simulators, if available, especially for the performance of dangerous emergency procedures, or to replicate hazardous driving conditions.
Certified personnel will conduct an annual check ride every 2 years for USAR and ARNG for each driver to assess driving proficiency and identify weaknesses. Sustainment training will focus on individual weaknesses as well as other topics identified by the commander that is, may be based on local seasonal conditions, mission, equipment, and so forth.
If the first line supervisor is not licensed or is unable to perform the check ride, the commander or supervisor will ensure a qualified individual performs the check ride and assessment. Commanders will establish a remedial training program for drivers or operators who have had driver at-fault accidents or traffic violations, misused equipment, or otherwise demonstrated a need for additional training on military vehicles or equipment.
This training will be directed towards identifying and correcting individual weaknesses and not as a form of punishment. Tracked vehicles.

A special purpose permit will consist of an OF or DA Form —E conspicuously stamped with the appropriate designation.
Such permits will be issued only when necessary to meet requirements and, except for expert driver or operator permits, will not be issued instead of standard permits when the latter would otherwise apply. Learner permits. Prior to being issued an OF or DA Form —E, individuals must pass all physical evaluation measures listed in appendix D and successfully complete introductory classroom training.
At minimum this training will consist of— a Vehicle or equipment orientation. Incidental driver permits. An applicant for an incidental permit must—. Further restrictions on the use of incidental permits are authorized when the privilege has been abused.
Limited permits. Limited permits will be issued only when necessary. They make limited use of otherwise qualified individuals whose status or condition precludes issuance of a standard permit. Amputees, combat wounded personnel, prisoners, and prisoners of war are in this category.
For example, they will not be issued to drivers or operators who have been qualified to drive only one or a few vehicles. They will not be issued to civilian personnel for the sole reason that they are restricted to administrative or non-tactical driving alone, nor will they be issued to physically handicapped persons when the nature of the handicap is such that it can be corrected or compensated for by usual means. The information can be typed or written, but must be in black ink and, in each case, the specific limitation will be stated.
Sample remarks for limited permits include—. This paragraph applies to operations within the physical confines of the port facility and does not supersede the requirements outlined in 29 CFR , relating to longshoring activities nor does it preclude the requirement for hazardous material training.
Exception: In extreme circumstances, when there is an uncommon or newly-fielded piece of equipment for loading or discharge and no one is specifically licensed to operate it, the commander of the SDDC battalion in charge of the port can waive this requirement provided—. Paragraph a,above only pertains to equipment that is loaded or discharged from ships or other transportation and does not apply to any material handling equipment used to assist in loading or discharging.
DOD military, civilian and contract personnel who operate Government-owned material handling equipment or powered industrial vehicles within port facilities will require the standard qualifications and training outlined in chapters two and four of this regulation, as applicable.

DD Form SF When a commander needs to select an individual to be a driver, or when the number of Soldiers available for training exceeds the number needed, an interview can be used to select personnel. Factors to consider are: personnel over 25 years of age are usually more mature than younger people; driving experience of 1 year or more during which the applicant has driven 4, accident free miles will usually indicate good judgment and coordination.
The interview should be informal and the person must understand its purpose. The interview will be conducted in writing and the information recorded. Inform the individual of the Privacy Act provisions. Answers dealing with your record of accidents and violations may be checked against official records. Your answers will be used to help place you in work for which you are best suited. How old are you? How many years of schooling have you completed?
Have you had any previous driving experience? What type of vehicles have you driven? Have you ever driven a manual shift vehicle? How much experience have you had driving a passenger car? Approximately how many miles have you driven during the past 12 months?
How much experience have you had driving a truck of 2. Have you ever driven a front-wheel drive vehicle? Have you ever driven a four-wheel drive vehicle? Have you ever driven a tractor-trailer combination? Explain who was at fault and how, in your opinion, the accident could have been avoided. How many times have you been cited for a traffic violation? Describe each of these incidents. How do you account for your good or poor driving record?
What do you think is the major cause of traffic accidents? What do you think should be done to reduce the number of traffic accidents? Have you had any experience as an automobile mechanic or in related work? Have you any personal objections to becoming a military motor vehicle operator?
If so explain. Do you think you would make a good military driver? Do you wear corrective lenses or do you have any problems with your eyes? Do you have any hearing problems? Have you ever been involved in a drug or alcohol offense? Do you know of any physical defects that might affect you as a driver? Are you taking any medications which may affect or impair your ability to drive?
Table C—1 contains a list of all Army wheeled vehicles by model or types which fall into each of the respective classes discussed below. However, when these vehicles are used to haul hazardous materials or to transport 16 or more passengers including the driver off the installation, they are automatically classified as class C vehicles and the driver requires a CDL. A cargo truck is normally a class D vehicle, but under some circumstances is classified as a class C vehicle, and the driver must have a class C CDL with the required endorsements.
Examples of this are—. When it is used to transport passengers. When it is used to transport ammunition in quantities that require placarding. When a tank and pump unit is mounted in the cargo bed. Class A. Any combination of vehicles with a gross combination weight rating of 26, or more pounds provided.
Class B. Any single vehicle with a GVWR of 26, or more pounds, or any such vehicle towing a vehicle not in. Class C. Any single vehicle, or combination of vehicles, that meets neither the definition of class A or class B as. Class D. Those vehicles outside of the current CDL classification system all others.
Certain endorsements and. There are three kinds of endorsements that may be required; these depend on the type of equipment being driven or the type of cargo transported.
Tank vehicles. Drivers of vehicles used to haul liquids in bulk must have specialized knowledge and skills to drive safely. Liquids in bulk cause driving control problems because the cargo is heavy, shifts, and has a high center of gravity.
These drivers must obtain tanker endorsements to their licenses showing they have passed a written examination and a performance test on the special problems posed by large volume liquid cargo. Any driver operating a vehicle designed to transport 16 or more passengers, including the driver, must. He or she must pass a written examination on special safety considerations when transporting passengers.
All military personnel are required to undergo periodic medical examinations according to AR , Standards of Medical Fitness. AR requires all potential military drivers to undergo physical qualification tests. The purpose of these tests is to ensure operators of military motor vehicles possess at least minimum physical requirements for safe driving.
They are also intended for diagnostic, guidance, and counseling purposes. AR describes the procedures for administering the physical qualification tests in detail. The test's primary components follow. The portable driver testing and training device contains all materials necessary to conduct a physical qualifications test. This equipment can be requisitioned through supply channels.
If assistance is required, the post safety officer can properly identify the vehicle model and training source of supply. Equivalent testing instruments may be constructed locally, provided they are made to accurately measure the physical characteristics prescribed in the following paragraphs. Testing Conditions. Rooms in which the tests are given must be well lighted without glare , and well ventilated.
The examinee should be made comfortable so physical discomfort does not affect test results. If it is necessary to test multiple examinees simultaneously in the same room, distractions during testing should be kept to a minimum. The reaction time test must be given under conditions that are free from noise and other distractions. Supplementary Instru ctions to Examiners.
The following instructions apply to all physical evaluation testing and supplement the specific instructions accompanying the equipment. Give a number of trial tests to become familiar with the test and test procedures. Physical Characteristics to be Tested. The following instructions apply to all physical evaluation testing. Visual Acuity. Determine whether the examinee can see well enough to drive safely.
Operator permits must be annotated to reflect this requirement. Field of Vision. Determine whether the examinee can see to the side while looking straight ahead. A lateral range of 75 percent on each side of the focus line is the minimum standard acceptable for each eye.
If the standard is not met, the examinee will be referred to appropriate medical personnel to determine if his lateral vision is sufficient for safe driving.
Depth Perception. Determine how well the examinee can judge distances. None; the results of this measure are used in driver counseling and training. Color Perception.
Determine if the examinee is color-blind. The examinee will not be disqualified for a vehicle operator's license because of color-blindness. However, examinees who test color-blind will be given additional training on traffic light sequence and traffic observation to assist safe driving. Foot Reaction Time. Determine whether the examinee can move his foot quickly enough in response to driving conditions.
Reaction time up to and including 0. If the examinee's reaction time is faster than 0. Any sudden application of brakes could invite such a collision with a slower reacting driver. If the examinee's reaction time is between 0. If the reaction time of the examinee is slower than 0. Determine whether the examinee can hear well enough to drive safely. Examinees must attain a numerical designator of "1" or "2" under the "H" factor of the physical profile serial to unconditionally pass the hearing test.
Those scoring a "3" or "4" will be referred to medical personnel for a professional driving status decision. All driver personnel are required to have an annual hearing conservation examination. The commander develops his training strategy after assessing the strengths and weaknesses of his unit. The assessment must include any personnel turbulence changes. His strategy must focus on his METL, sustain his unit's strengths, and correct its weaknesses.
He will find that some tasks apply to Soldiers generally, and that others apply exclusively to Soldiers in a squad. These factors require an integrated training strategy. Vehicle commanders are proficient with all tasks performed on the vehicle, just as drivers are proficient with all driver tasks. However, squad members who are trained to be proficient on all vehicle tasks, including driving, will function better as a team.
Basic driver training develops individual skills needed to operate the vehicle. The driver is trained and evaluated on—. Training focuses on driver coordination and tasks such as ground guide railhead operations, and unusual driving conditions.
Advanced Driver training. Advanced driver training develops specific skills needed to operate the vehicle in extreme or unusual conditions. Cross-training enhances the coordination between the vehicle crew and squad. It must occur as often as possible because it is critical to countering personnel losses in peacetime or combat. Effective cross-training incorporates the individual and squad to sustain basic crew skills. It also provides additional training so squad members can perform as Stryker drivers.
T r aining plans. Once the commander has developed his METL and thoroughly assessed training proficiency, he begins the detailed process of developing a training plan. The primary mission of the Master Driver is to train vehicle drivers. The Master Driver helps commanders at all echelons plan, develop, execute, and evaluate all driver-related training.
Directed by the commander in his specific responsibilities, the Master Driver—. The greatest problem a commander must contend with in developing a training plan is personnel turbulence personnel changes. He must develop a plan to reduce and control it before developing and executing his training plan. This turbulence is inevitable. However, he can reduce it with short- or long-term solutions.
Experienced Soldiers are easier to train than new Soldiers. Driving and operational conditions vary so crews learn to fight in any battlefield environment. Training in a variety of conditions ensures crews can perform in adverse weather and degraded mode operations. Thermal sights must be used not only at night, but also during daylight operations in smoke, adverse weather conditions, and concealing terrain. Adverse Weather. Soldiers must know how adverse weather affects their senses.
They must also know how to mechanically operate the weapons system. Degraded Mode Training. Squads must continue the fight using degraded mode operations. Army policy encourages incentive awards programs to motivate personnel in skills improvement.
