What is the first step in developing and documenting a unit's motor vehicle license program?

The first step in developing and documenting a unit's motor vehicle license program is to acquire the current personnel roster for the entire unit. This step ensures that you have an accurate and comprehensive list of personnel who may need to be included in the licensing program. Knowing who is in the unit allows for the identification of potential drivers and ensuring they are properly accounted for in the licensing process.

Starting with the personnel roster is crucial, as it serves as the foundation for the program. After establishing who will participate, the program can then evolve by linking the relevant safety trainings and assessing vehicle conditions, which are subsequent considerations that depend on understanding the personnel involved. This systematic approach enhances organization and ensures that all drivers meet the necessary requirements to operate motor vehicles effectively and safely within the unit.
