Army License Instructors & License Examiners: 50 Questions
with Correct Answers | Graded A+ (2026/2027 Edition)
SECTION 1: Army Licensing Regulations and Policies
Question 1.
What is the primary regulatory purpose of AR 600-55?
A. To establish physical fitness standards for military vehicle operators
B. To prescribe policies and procedures for the Army Driver and Operator
Standardization Program (ADOSP)
C. To regulate commercial trucking operations on federal highways
D. To outline vehicle procurement procedures for tactical units
Correct Answer: B. To prescribe policies and procedures for the Army Driver and
Operator Standardization Program (ADOSP)
Rationale: AR 600-55, The Army Driver and Operator Standardization Program, is the
governing regulation that establishes licensing, training, and operator qualification
requirements for Army personnel. Option A is incorrect because physical fitness
standards are governed by AR 600-9. Option C is incorrect because commercial trucking
on public highways falls under Department of Transportation regulations. Option D is
incorrect because vehicle procurement is governed by acquisition regulations, not
operator licensing.
Question 2.
Which Department of the Army form serves as the official record of a Soldier's
qualification to operate specific military vehicles?
A. DA Form 2404 (Equipment Inspection and Maintenance Worksheet)
B. DA Form 5988-E (Equipment Inspection and Maintenance Worksheet)
C. DA Form 348 (Equipment Operator's Qualification Record)
D. SF 46 (United States Government Motor Vehicle Operator's Identification Card)
Correct Answer: C. DA Form 348 (Equipment Operator's Qualification Record)
Rationale: DA Form 348 is the official Army document used to record an operator's
qualification for specific equipment, including vehicle types, dates of qualification, and
,examiner information. Option A and B are maintenance forms, not licensing records.
Option D, the SF 46, is an identification card that may accompany but does not replace
the qualification record maintained on DA Form 348.
Question 3.
A unit discovers that a Soldier has been operating a Medium Tactical Vehicle (MTV) for
three months without an entry on DA Form 348 authorizing that vehicle type. What type
of violation has occurred?
A. A maintenance violation under DA Pam 750-1 only
B. An operator qualification violation under AR 600-55
C. A property accountability violation under AR 735-5
D. A safety violation under AR 385-10 only
Correct Answer: B. An operator qualification violation under AR 600-55
Rationale: AR 600-55 requires that operators be properly licensed on DA Form 348 for
each specific vehicle type they operate. Operating without proper authorization is a
violation of operator qualification standards. While this may also have safety
implications (AR 385-10), the primary violation is regulatory under AR 600-55. Option C
is incorrect because property accountability is unrelated to operator licensing.
Question 4.
During a field training exercise, an instructor observes that a Soldier's DA Form 348
expired one week ago. The Soldier has been operating under the direct supervision of a
licensed operator. What is the instructor's required action?
A. Allow the Soldier to continue since direct supervision mitigates the risk
B. Immediately suspend the Soldier from vehicle operation and notify the unit
commander or licensing official
C. Authorize a 30-day grace period to renew the license retroactively
D. Have the Soldier complete a written test at the end of the exercise to update the form
Correct Answer: B. Immediately suspend the Soldier from vehicle operation and notify
the unit commander or licensing official
Rationale: An expired DA Form 348 means the operator is no longer legally qualified to
operate the vehicle under AR 600-55. Direct supervision does not substitute for a valid
license. Options A, C, and D represent improper actions that violate regulatory standards
and create liability for the unit and instructor.
, Question 5.
Under AR 600-55, which of the following is a valid pathway for obtaining a military
vehicle operator's license?
A. Presentation of a valid civilian commercial driver's license (CDL) alone
B. Commander's memorandum waiving training requirements due to operational
necessity
C. Successful completion of prescribed training and standardized testing for the
specific vehicle type
D. Online self-certification through the Army Learning Management System (ALMS)
without practical evaluation
Correct Answer: C. Successful completion of prescribed training and standardized
testing for the specific vehicle type
Rationale: AR 600-55 requires that operators complete appropriate training and pass
both written and practical examinations administered by qualified examiners. A civilian
CDL (Option A) does not automatically confer military licensing for tactical vehicles.
Commanders cannot waive training requirements (Option B), and online certification
alone (Option D) does not satisfy behind-the-wheel evaluation requirements.
Question 6.
A commander needs to qualify ten Soldiers on a new fleet of Heavy Expanded Mobility
Tactical Trucks (HEMTTs) within 45 days for an upcoming deployment. Which
regulatory approach best aligns with AR 600-55?
A. Waive the practical examination for experienced drivers to expedite the timeline
B. Conduct accelerated training using qualified instructors and administer standardized
licensing examinations
C. Authorize operation based on the similarity to previously licensed 5-ton cargo trucks
D. Issue temporary licenses valid only for the deployment period
Correct Answer: B. Conduct accelerated training using qualified instructors and
administer standardized licensing examinations
Rationale: AR 600-55 does not permit waivers of training or examination requirements
(Option A). Vehicle similarity (Option C) does not confer automatic qualification.
Temporary licenses (Option D) are not authorized under the regulation. The correct
approach is to conduct proper training and testing, even under accelerated timelines,
ensuring regulatory compliance and operator safety.
