I have an MSF Card from "insert post or college" do I have to take it again on Fort Bragg??

No, if you are in possession of a MSF Card - enjoy the ride.

Any MSF Course riders card, that states on the card, that the course meets the standards of the MSF ERC or BRC is acceptable and meets the Army’s standard. AR 385-10

Never hurts to sharpen your skills - schedule for an ERC - no cost to you and what you learn could be priceless.

LOST Ft Bragg MSF Card - I lost my MSF Card - what do I do?

Has it been a more than three years? Might as well schedule for ERC - records are only maintained for three years. e-mail (LOST MSF CARD) provide: your name, type of class and date (month & year) class was completed, once research is completed to verify a "replacement" card will be issued, back dated to the date you completed the course. If you registered on AIRS, return to AIRS and print a copy of your Student Record and bring it to the ISO, Room 226 (same building as BRC Classroom. We only replace "Ft Bragg issued MSF Cards"

I have a BRC card, do I have to attend ERC??

I have an ERC card, do I have to attend BRC??

No, you need a MSF card - BRC or ERC - one or the other - at this time, there is no requirement to have both. All it will cost is your "time" the course is FREE and what you learn could save you time and money.

The Fort Bragg standard motorcycle safety rider’s course was changed on 30 April 2007 to the MSF BRC IAW Army policy. The previous standard was the ERC which is still being offered to those skilled motorcycle riders with previous training and a motorcycle endorsement on their state driver’s license.
