Book excerpt: Training Circular TC 21-305-5 Training Program For Equipment Transporters (C-Het, Met, And Let The driver of a light-, medium-, or heavy-equipment transporter is charged with an awesome responsibility. Not only will he be driving one of the largest vehicles in the Army's vehicle fleet but also one of the heaviest vehicles. Therefore, as a prerequisite, the individual must have been qualified and licensed to operate a 5-ton tractor and semitrailer for at least one year before receiving a license to operate an equipment transporter. Therefore, this TC provides standardized driver training and testing for the light-, medium-, and heavy-equipment transporter operator. This TC stresses hands-on training with minimal classroom instruction. It does not include any theater unique requirements. The lesson outlines are used to teach the novice (inexperienced) driver to operate the light-, medium-, and/or heavy-equipment transporter. They can also be used to teach the apprentice driver. (The apprentice driver is defined as a driver that has been driving military vehicles for at least one year.) The apprentice driver may learn to operate the light-, medium-, and/or heavy equipment transporter in less time than the novice assuming that skills learned on other military vehicles are positive skills transferable to operating light-, medium-, and/or heavy-equipment transporter.
