About

This manual outlines a system for selecting, training, and qualifying track combat vehicle drivers. The Army's inventory includes numerous track combat vehicles; some are weapons, while others carry men and materiel. Scope This manual contains the necessary steps for: 1. Selecting and training driver instructors and examiners. 2. Selecting, training, examining, and supervising drivers. (See the appendixes for suggested tests and checklists.) Effect of Driving on Combat Efficiency The contribution of the driver to combat efficiency is not always appreciated or recognized, even though his performance is a critical factor in keeping a vehicle in fighting condition. The best designed and constructed vehicles maintained by the best mechanics in the Army cannot compensate for poor driving practices; poor driving practices can cause any unit to fail to perform its mission.
