 Today was familiarization to learn the weight of the vehicle, handling of the vehicle, to see the weight on turns through terrain, driving which we did, and on the hardball. Deploying soldiers undergo vital MRAP or Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicle Driver's Training. These are the vehicles we're going to use in theater, and to get familiarized with them is probably fantastic prior to us getting there. Just to know how to handle them and feel them, you know, the driving, they're very top-heavy, you know, take them turns, you can feel it. The second of the 312th Training Support Battalion provide classroom instruction as well as practical driving exercises. Like they mentioned in the class, this breaks. Each individual is never going to know when they're going to be calling to get inside this vehicle. There's an emergency and they just have to jump in and go. It's nice for them to know how to be able to start the vehicle, properly drive the vehicle down the road, and exit the vehicle in case of a situation. Many view this hands-on training a necessary enhancement to class instruction. Units completing this lane can deploy with more confidence in their ability to conduct the Army mission.
