What is an essential requirement for an operator before beginning any movement in an AMV?

The essential requirement for an operator before beginning any movement in an Army Motor Vehicle (AMV) is the verification of their Print Qualification Record. This record serves as an official documentation of the operator's qualifications and competencies related to operating specific types of vehicles within the Army. Ensuring that the operator is properly qualified directly contributes to safety and operational effectiveness during vehicle operations.

Before any movement, it's crucial for the operator to confirm that they have met the necessary requirements and training standards specified for the vehicle they are about to operate. This minimizes the risk of accidents or operational failures that could arise from unqualified personnel attempting to drive a military vehicle, as they may lack the essential skills or knowledge required to do so safely.
