Training Circular TC 21-305-9 Training Program For The Heavy Equipment Transporter System 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 theaterunique requirements. During the development of this TC, 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 this TC. Any deviation from the successful completion of these basic standards will only lessen the soldier's overall driving effectiveness. The lesson content for this training program is arranged sequentially and separated into two chapters. Chapter 4 contains training for truck operations and Chapter 5 contains training for trailer operations. Graduates of this training program (licensed drivers) should be supervised until they have gained the experience to operate the HETS 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 determine the need for additional training.
