uture technological advances will increase the complexity of repairing, managing, and maintaining equipment. The Army currently operates in a resource-constrained environment that may continue to persist into the future. To maintain a competitive advantage over our adversaries, time and resources will have to be used efficiently and effectively. Future educational strategies will have to evolve to support the training and educational requirements of Soldiers and Army civilians. The responsibility to educate and train Soldiers is shared between the learner, the institutional training community (i.e., Training and Doctrine Command instructors, training developers, etc.), the chain of command, and leadership roles. The
learning strategy described in the U.S. Army Learning Concept 2020-2040 calls for a career-long adaptive and continuous learner-centric training and educational environment that requires individual commitment to career-long learning. The Army People Strategy, Line of Effort 2: Develop Talent, calls for the development and employment of education and training opportunities that extend Soldiers talents, close talent gaps, and maximize Soldiers contributions to the Total Army. This is envisioned to be achieved through the “Educate,” “Train,” and “Credential” supporting objective areas that provide the framework for implementing initiatives that achieve Army strategic outcomes. The United States Army Ordnance School, in partnership with the National Institute for Automotive Service
Excellence (ASE), has developed the Military Tactical Wheeled Vehicle (TWV) Certification Test Series, otherwise known as the MIL Series, to modernize and supplement the training and education of TWV maintainers now and into the future.
Development of the ASE Military TWV Credentials The ASE Tactical Wheeled Vehicle credentials have been in development since early 2020, following a memorandum of understanding between the Ordnance School and ASE. Junior enlisted Soldiers, noncommissioned officers (NCO), warrant officers (WO), officers, and civilians from the Army, Air Force, Marines, served as subject matter experts and collaborated with ASE to develop the tests.
