Book excerpt: 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.
