1SG (Join to see) - that's only if your company commander has orders written orders from the battalion commander to do so.

SSG (Join to see) - SSG, I'd say it would be the most rarest of circumstances where a BN cdr would not delegate this authority to a company commander, especially in the NG, which is what he asked about. But sure, the AR 600-55 does say it is a BN level program, with authority to license delegated down.

1LT A. Uribe - LT, I missed your question about policy earlier. Check out AR 600-55, it should give you specifics of what you're looking for. It's a short, easy read, like less than 50 pages.

All you need for a road test is a licensed driver and appointment orders from the commander. AR 600-55 will tell you the requirements that need to be met during the test. Fairly simple process

Send them through Drivers Training ( Drivers Academy), have them go out with a driver trainer not sure on how my hours or miles. Then have your Master Driver test them on a road test. That should take care of it.

Unless the Reg has been updated, check AR 600-55.

4–3. Qualification training
Qualification training will include sequential and progressive instruction in academic subjects and on driving. Operators will not participate in any hands-on vehicle or equipment training without a valid OF 346 Learner’s Permit (see chap 6).
a. Academics and driving. Appendix E provides a guidelines for commanders to use in designing training programs, to include academic subjects as well as hands-on training.

c. Qualification. Upon completion of training, the operator must successfully complete a written examination (sample examination provided at table 4–1) and a driver performance test (see app G for wheeled vehicles). Upon passing these tests, the student may be issued an OF 346 Standard Permit or Limited Permit according to chapter 6.
