Who is responsible for conducting annual check rides?

The responsibility for conducting annual check rides falls to the License Instructor, License Examiner, or NCO supervisors. These individuals are specifically designated to assess the competency and proficiency of operators to ensure they can safely and effectively operate military vehicles. This ensures that standards are maintained, skills are evaluated consistently, and any deficiencies can be addressed through additional training if necessary.

Assigning this responsibility to individuals with the appropriate qualifications and training helps to uphold safety and operational readiness within the unit. While other roles, such as unit commanders or training coordinators, may have broader oversight or involvement in training programs, it is the designated instructors and examiners who directly conduct these evaluations. This specialization contributes to maintaining high standards for vehicle operation within the Army.
