Due to a May 2012 change to Air Force Instruction 24-301, Vehicle Operations, for military and department of defense civilian operators of government motor vehicles, owned, leased or rented, requires possession of a valid state motor vehicle license.

Operation of non-tactical AF GMVs where gross vehicle weight is less than 10,000 pounds (4x2), 11 passengers or less requires no further licensing.

Operation of all other AF GMVs still require additional training and certification for vehicles such as: 4x4 vehicles, 15-passenger vans, buses, forklifts and all other specialized vehicles weighing more than 10,000 pounds. All Forklifts also require recertification to be completed every three years by a unit trainer.

Check the expiration date on your government vehicle license, if expired, stop by the office, Bldg. 130, anytime to have it updated.

For more information on military licensing or training requirements call 60th Logistics Readiness Squadron vehicle operations section at 424-3404 or 424-3405.
