Training Circular TC 21-305-8 Training Program For Medium Vehicles This training circular (TC) provides a training program for the wheeled vehicle operator of medium vehicles (straight vehicles, 5 ton and greater), in accordance with Army Regulation (AR) 600-55. It can be used to train drivers of tactical or commercially- designed vehicles. Instructions in this TC are written in general terms because they include driver tasks for several vehicles. Therefore, use the appropriate vehicle operator's manual in conjunction with this TC. While developing this TC, 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. This TC 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 this TC. Any deviation from successfully completing these basic standards will only decrease the soldiers' overall driving effectiveness. This training program offers commanders some alternatives. Chapter 7 contains training and testing for drivers transporting personnel in trucks; Chapter 8, for drivers transporting personnel in buses. For safety reasons, all drivers should be tested on the End Of Course Comprehensive Test (EOCCT) (Chapter 6) before proceeding to Chapters 7 or 8. Also, Chapter 9 includes additional subjects that can be added at the commander's discretion based on the unit's mission. 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 more training.

Training Circular TC 21-305-4 Training Program For The High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle This training circular (TC) provides standardized driver training and testing for the high mobility multipurpose wheeled vehicle (HMMWV) operator in accordance with AR 600-55. It stresses hands-on training with minimal classroom instruction. It does not include any theater-unique requirements. This TC teaches the novice (inexperienced) driver to operate the HMMWV. It also can be used to teach the apprentice driver. (The apprentice driver is a driver that has been driving military vehicles for at least one year.) The apprentice driver may learn to operate the HMMWV in less time than the novice, assuming that skills learned on other military vehicles are positive skills transferable to operating a HMMWV.

The Preventive Maintenance Monthly is an official publication of the Army, providing information for all soldiers assigned to combat and combat duties. The magazine covers issues concerning maintenance, maintenance procedures and supply problems.

This publication, Training Circular TC 21-305-20 / AFMAN 24-306(I) Manual for the Wheeled Vehicle Operator January 2016, provides instructions to help the wheeled vehicle operator maintain a high degree of driving efficiency. This TC does not restrict its contents to any one particular vehicle. It is a guide to normal every day operations and to driving under difficult conditions. When more information is needed for a specific vehicle, check the technical manual (TM) or technical order (TO) written for that vehicle. Today's military operator does considerably more than just drive and has a requirement to master every aspect of the vehicle's capabilities and limitations to include all current sub-components such as technologically advanced communications, navigation, intercom systems, onboard material handling cranes, self-recovery winches, integrated night-vision devices, weapons support systems, onboard electronic diagnostic systems, and load responsibility. Leaders can use a variety of methods and environments to train and practice the safe operation of Army motor vehicles in accordance with this training circular.

The Trainer is a how to guide concerning Army training covering all aspects of training, conduct, After Action Reviews. It reduces repetitive tasks and improves training quality. A great book that provides you with numerous training ideas, suggestions and techniques.
