Training Circular TC 21-305-10 Training Program For The Palletized Load System This training circular (TC) provides a training program for the palletized load system (PLS) operator according to AR 600-55. It provides standardized training and testing in the operation, maintenance, and safety of the PLS. It stresses hands-on training with minimal classroom instruction and does not include any theater-unique requirements. During the development of this TC, it was assumed that each driver candidate would have a state driver's license and have extensive experience driving a 5-ton or larger tactical cargo truck. Less experienced soldiers will require additional training in the basic skills and knowledge subjects contained in TC 21-305-8, Training Program for Medium Vehicles. To provide effective training, each instructor should ensure his operators are trained and tested to the standards in this TC. Any deviation from the successful completion of these basic standards will only lessen the soldiers' overall driving effectiveness.

Training Circular TC 21-305-11 Training Program for the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles Operator May 1999This TC provides a training program for the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV cargo variants) vehicle operator according to AR 600-55. It was designed for the Medium Tactical Vehicle 5-ton cargo truck, but also may be used for the Light Medium Tactical Vehicles 2 1/2-ton cargo variant. It provides standardized training and testing in the operation, maintenance, and safety of this vehicle. It stresses hands-on training with minimal classroom instruction and does not include any theater-unique requirements. Additionally, during the development of this TC, it was assumed that each driver candidate would have a state driver's license, have completed accident avoidance training according to TC 21-305, and possess an OF 346 Learners Permit.The lesson content for this training program is arranged sequentially and separated into three chapters (Chapters 4, 5, and 7). Chapter 4 contains training for driving operations and Chapter 5 for trailer operations. Testing is contained in Chapter 7. For those operators trained on truck operations, testing is conducted after the training in Chapter 4. Operators that are trained in trailer operations are tested after receiving all training in Chapters 4 and 5. This allows the commander the flexibility to tailor 5-ton operator training based on the unit's equipment. Additionally, all training should be annotated on DA Form 348, Equipment Operator's Qualification Record (or ULLS generated DA Form 348-E) according to AR 600-55.

Training Circular TC 21-305-6 Training Program for the Tractor and Semitrailer (M915, M931, AND M932) This training circular (TC) provides a distributed training package for the 5-ton (M931/M932) and 14-ton (M915/M915A1) tractor/semitrailer operator according to AR 600-55. To safeguard human resources and equipment, commanders must ensure that an individual is licensed to operate a 2 1/2-ton or larger truck before receiving tractor/semitrailer training. This TC provides standardized training and testing to operators in the operation, maintenance, and safety of the tractor semitrailer combination. It stresses hands-on training with minimal classroom instruction. It does not include any theater unique requirements. To effectively execute this TC, each instructor should ensure his tractor operators are trained and tested to the standards contained in this TC. This TC was specifically designed for the tractor semitrailer combination to include PMCS and vehicle operations. Any deviation from the successful completion of these basic standards will only lessen the soldiers' overall driving effectiveness. This training program offers some alternatives for the commander. Chapter 7 includes additional subjects to allow the flexibility to add subjects based on the mission of the unit. Graduates (licensed drivers) of this training program should be supervised until they have gained the experience to operate safely. They should not be placed in situations that may be above their skill level. Periodically, the supervisor should ride with each driver to observe safe operating procedures and to determine the need for additional training.
