Training Circular TC 21-305-11 Training Program for the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles Operator May 1999 This 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.
