What is the minimum age requirement for a soldier to attend the Master Driver Course?

The minimum age requirement for a soldier to attend the Master Driver Course is 21 years old. This age restriction is established because the course involves not only driving responsibility but also leadership and decision-making skills that are more effectively developed with a higher level of maturity and experience. Being 21 ensures that soldiers have had enough time to accumulate experience in various driving situations and understand the complexities of commanding a vehicle in both training and combat environments. Additionally, this age requirement aligns with many military policies that seek to ensure that personnel are adequately prepared for the responsibilities that come with advanced driving training.
