The U.S. Army Combat Readiness Center (USACRC) leads efforts to implement policies, and provide Soldier as well as leadership training, certification programs, and other tools and up-to-date educational materials including posters and popular video clips. See links below for direct access.
Motorcycles
Because it's important to be properly trained and certified to safely ride a motorcycle, the Army has established programs and requirements for both individual Soldiers as well as those with leadership responsibilities. Continued leadership support, motorcycle mentorship programs, and refresher training for those driving motorcycles are provided by the CRC/ASC; many eye-opening videos
are also provided to enhance training. The Defense Safety Oversight Council Private Motor Vehicle Task Force provides a series of motorcycle safety tips and instructional videos as well. Also, read the Motorcycle-Related Injuries Factsheet.
Privately Owned Vehicles (cars, trucks)
As studies continue to evaluate trends in risk factors leading to accidents, distracted driving has become an increasing concern. Other priority risk factors include alcohol use, fatigue, and failure to wear seatbelts. See associated Privately-Owned Vehicle-Related Injuries Factsheet; as well as regulations, training materials, and very telling videos. Technical references.
Vehicles used in military operations and training
Past military vehicle fatalities were found to be associated with failure to use seatbelts in vehicles during deployments. As in POVs, seatbelts are a life-saving intervention in military tactical vehicles. Technical references.
