This book was released on 2012-09-16 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Training Circular TC 7-21 provides standardized driver training and testing for Stryker operators in accordance with AR 600-55, The Army Driver and Operator Standardization Program. It teaches novice (inexperienced) and apprentice (one year of military vehicle driving experience) drivers to operate the Stryker vehicle. An apprentice driver may learn to operate the Stryker in less time than the novice, assuming skills learned on other military vehicles are transferable to Stryker operation. Leaders must emphasize driver training because high-technology Stryker vehicles demand greater driver skills and knowledge. This TC does not include any theater-unique requirements. It stresses hands-on training with minimal classroom instruction. Stryker drivers must know how to operate the vehicle's equipment effectively in all environments. They must be challenged to use safe driving practices and increase their awareness of accident avoidance. This TC is designed to accommodate these skills by providing: • Leadership tools needed to meet the challenge of producing quality Stryker drivers. • An introduction to Stryker simulated training. • Guidance on the use and accessing of lesson outlines. • Written and hands-on performance tests. • Listings of supporting training materials for all Stryker vehicles. • The latest techniques to enhance Stryker driver driving skills. • Slat armor attachment. TC 7-21 is organized into the following eight chapters and four appendixes that provide Stryker driver training strategies and training support materials: • Chapter 1, Introduction, explains the purposes, focus, and contents of the manual. • Chapter 2, Driver Selection, Training, and Supervision, describes a system for identifying, selecting, and qualifying Stryker vehicle drivers. • Chapter 3, Safety Awareness, examines the safeguards necessary to ensure vehicle operators do not place the physical well-being of people in jeopardy. • Chapter 4, Environmental Awareness, examines the safeguards necessary to ensure the environment is not placed in jeopardy by vehicle operators. • Chapter 5, How to Use Training Support Packages (TSPs), describes the learning objectives of TSPs and how to access them for use. • Chapter 6, Stryker Drivers Vision Enhancer AN/VAS-5, explains Stryker driver use of the DVE. • Chapter 7, Stryker Driver Trainer, explains Stryker driver use of the Stryker Driver Trainer. • Chapter 8, Driving with Slat Armor, describes the vehicle's attachable armor commonly in use. • Appendix A, Stryker Combat Vehicle Driver TSPs, lists all available TSPs. • Appendix B, Sample Operator/Driver Training Schedule Calendar (10 Day), contains a sample training calendar for adaptation and use. • Appendix C, Stryker Driver Training Courses, discusses training course design and procedures. • Appendix D, Lessons Learned, uses a Stryker-comparable U.S. Marine Lessons Learned LAV report of experiences in Iraq. To effectively execute this TC each instructor should ensure their Stryker operators are trained and tested to the standards contained within it. Graduates (licensed drivers) of this Stryker driver training program should be supervised until they gain the experience necessary to operate safely. Recent graduates should not be placed in situations that exceed their skill levels. Supervisors should periodically ride with each driver to observe safe operating procedures, and to determine any need for additional training. This publication applies to the Active Army, the Army National Guard/Army National Guard of the United States, and the United States Army Reserve unless otherwise stated.

This book was released on 2017-02-28 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Training Circular TC 21-305-7 Training Program For Light Vehicles This training circular (TC) provides a training program for the wheeled vehicle operator of light vehicles (2 1/2 tons or less) in accordance with AR 600-55. It provides standardized training and testing in the operation, maintenance, and safety of light vehicles. It can be used to train drivers of tactical or commercially designed vehicles. It stresses hands-on training with minimal classroom instruction, but it does not include any theater-unique requirements. Instructions are written in general terms because this TC includes driver tasks for several vehicles. For this reason, the appropriate vehicle operator's manual must be used along with this training circular. During the development of this TC, it was assumed that each driver candidate would have a state driver's license and some past driving experience. Less experienced soldiers will require additional subjects and time to train to these standards. To provide effective training, each instructor should ensure his operators are trained and tested to the standards contained in this TC. Any deviation from the successful completion of these basic standards will only lessen the soldiers' overall driving effectiveness. This training program offers some alternatives for the commander. Chapter 5 includes additional subjects to allow the flexibility to add subjects based on the mission of the unit. Graduates of this training program (licensed drivers) should be supervised until they have gained the experience to operate safely.

Download or read book Urban Operations written by Department of the Army and published by . This book was released on 2014-03-28 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctrine provides a military organization with a common philosophy, a language, a purpose, and unity of effort. Rather than establishing a set of hard and fast rules, the objective of doctrine is to foster initiative and creative thinking. To this end, FM 3-06 discusses major Army operations in an urban environment. This environment, consisting of complex terrain, a concentrated population, and an infrastructure of systems, is an operational environment in which Army forces will operate. In the future, it may be the predominant operational environment. Each urban operation is unique and will differ because of the multitude of combinations presented by the threat, the urban area itself, the major operation of which it may be part (or the focus), and the fluidity of societal and geopolitical considerations. Therefore, there will always exist an innate tension between Army doctrine, the actual context of the urban operation, and future realities. Commanders must strike the proper balance between maintaining the capability to respond to current threats and preparing for future challenges.

Download or read book 16 Cases of Mission Command written by Donald P., Donald Wright, Ph. D. and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-12 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the US Army to succeed in the 21st Century, Soldiers of all ranks must understand and use Mission Command. Mission Command empowers leaders at all levels, allowing them to synchronize all warfighting functions and information systems to seize, retain, and exploit the initiative against a range of adversaries. This collection of historical vignettes seeks to sharpen our understanding of Mission Command philosophy and practice by providing examples from the past in which Mission Command principles played a decisive role. Some vignettes show junior officers following their commander's intent and exercising disciplined initiative in very chaotic combat operations. Others recount how field grade officers built cohesive teams that relied on mutual trust to achieve key operational objectives. Each historical account is complemented by an annotated explanation of how the six Mission Command principles shaped the action. For this reason, the collection is ideal for leader development in the Army school system as well as for unit and individual professional development. Mission Command places great responsibility on our Soldiers.
