This test is conducted according to AR 600-55, appendix G, after the operator has met the Army in Europe driver’s draining POI requirements and a valid DA Form 5984-E (or OF 346) has been issued. After completion of onpost maneuvers, commanders may issue an “ARMY LIMITED” driver’s license to a driver if offpost maneuvers are required (AR 600-55, app G). The ARMY LIMITED driver’s license allows the driver to drive offpost if accompanied by a qualified instructor. An “ARMY STANDARD” driver’s license is issued after the driver demonstrates proficiency in all required tasks.
(6) Annual check ride. Policy for the annual check ride is in AR 600-55, paragraph 4-4b. The driver performing the check ride will be—
(a) The first supervisor in the rank of sergeant or above.
(b) Licensed for the vehicle in which he or she is conducting the annual check ride.

a. Licensing operators of tactical vehicles will be conducted according to AR 600-55, chapter 6.
b. Before receiving an operator’s license for a tactical vehicle in the European region, the operator must pass a DTS POI that applies to the country in which the operator is stationed. For operational areas without an established DTS POI (for example, Bosnia, Afghanistan, Iraq, etc.), the commander’s mission and risk analysis will determine the appropriate level of training for Soldiers, civilians, contract, and LN employees. As a minimum, non-USAREUR personnel will complete a DTS POI from a country in the European region for which the rules and conditions are similar to the operational area.

(1) Be trained, tested, and pass the DTS POI for the country in which stationed.
(a) Non-USAREUR personnel assigned outside the central European region will complete the DTS POI for Germany or another country in the European region, other than the United Kingdom, with similar rules and conditions.
(b) For operational environments where an established DTS POI does not exist (for example, outside the central European region) the commander’s mission and risk analysis will determine the appropriate level of training for Soldiers and DOD civilian, contract, and LN employees.
(2) Possess a valid country driver’s license or host-nation driver’s license.
(3) Be issued a DA Form 5984-E (or OF 346) and DA Form 348 by a U.S. Army garrison- approved DTS.
13
b. Present a 2-hour orientation on driving in Europe. This orientation will include guidance on official use of Government-owned or -leased vehicles, accident prevention, vehicle inspection and maintenance, and other topics necessary for safe and proficient driving.
c. Administer the appropriate 100-question written test (AE Pam 190-34-1, AE Pam 190-34-2, AE Pam 190-34-3, and AE Pam 190-43-4). (The Army in Europe POV and military driver’s tests have been combined in Germany.) The written test measures knowledge of European traffic regulations and safe driving practices. Military personnel do not need a valid country license on U.S. Forces POV license to take the written test for licensing by their unit to operate Army tactical motor vehicles.
(1) U.S. Army garrisons in Belgium, the Netherlands, and other locations outside of Germany will use locally developed written tests based on host-nation requirements and tests if rules of the road in their area of responsibility are substantially different from those in Germany.
(2) U.S. Army Garrison Vicenza will use tests provided by the United States Naval Support Activity, Italy.
d. Administer the vehicle driver’s performance test for the equipment and type of NTV that the person being tested will use. When required, road tests on manual-transmission NTVs will be given before issuing DA Form 5984-E (or OF 346).
e. Issue DA Form 5984-E (or OF 346) to personnel who meet the prerequisites in this regulation, attend the 2-hour orientation program, pass the written test, and the vehicle driver’s performance test if required. The DA Form 348 must specify training and test results, including the version of the Army in Europe written test given, and the number of correct answers. The DTS will—
(1) Overstamp the form with “Failed AE Pamphlet 190-34-1, -2, -3, or -4” as appropriate for personnel who fail the written test so the unit or organization is aware of the individual’s need for additional training.
(2) Retest personnel who have failed the written test. Personnel who fail the test must retake the test and pass it before they will be authorized to operate a U.S. Government motor vehicle in Europe.
NOTE: Personnel who fail the test twice in two weeks must wait 14 days after the last failed test before retesting. Personnel who fail the test a third time must wait 60 days before retesting. In cases of exceptional hardship, DTS officers may waive the 60-day wait, provided that the Soldier’s commander or civilian’s supervisor approves a waiver request.
f. Forward NTV DA Form 5984-E (or OF 346) to the local transportation motor pool or other point of NTV dispatch for maintenance and update.
