As military driving is a technical skill across a wide variety of vehicles, with complex and differing operational profiles, the training needs are dynamic and are therefore constantly monitored by the responsible branches of the Defence Forces.

The Military Authorities have informed me that there are sufficient driving instructors and driving courses to meet current needs.
