Who is responsible for checking the 5984-E prior to movement in an AMV?

The Senior Occupant in the Armored Military Vehicle (AMV) holds the responsibility for checking the 5984-E prior to movement. This is an essential task because the 5984-E document serves as a record of the vehicle's condition and any significant details necessary for its safe operation, such as equipment status and operational readiness. The Senior Occupant, typically acting as a commanding presence, ensures compliance with standard operating procedures and that all safety checks are completed before the vehicle is deployed.

The other roles, while they may contribute to the overall safety and readiness of the mission, do not have the specific responsibility for this particular document. The driver focuses mainly on the operation and handling of the vehicle, the vehicle maintenance officer is primarily engaged in maintenance tasks rather than pre-movement checks, and the team leader may have oversight duties but is not designated to check the 5984-E directly. This structured chain of responsibility is designed to enhance safety and accountability within military operations involving AMVs.
