b. Progressive Motorcycle Program. The Army Progressive Motorcycle Program is designed to consistently keep motorcycle operator training current and sustain or enrich rider skills. The program consists of the following courses: BRC, ERC, MSRC, and MRT.

(1) Prior to operating any motorcycle, Soldiers will successfully complete an appropriate MSF-based BRC course or DUSD(I&E)-endorsed, State-approved curriculum for motorcycle operator’s safety training.

(2) Based on the type of motorcycle(s) owned and operated, Soldiers complete either ERC or the MSRC within 12 months of completing the BRC.

(3) The Army standard basic motorcycle riders course is an appropriate MSF-based BRC or DUSD(I&E)-endorsed, State-approved curriculum for motorcycle operators’ safety training. Training must be conducted by certified or licensed rider coaches and include classroom instruction on technical and behavioral subjects, hands-on training, a riding skills evaluation, and a knowledge-based evaluation. Installations will accept the completion cards of the MSF BRC course or DUSD(I&E)-endorsed course that includes written and riding evaluations as proof of successful completion of the required training.

(4) The MRT will be provided for any (motorcycle licensed and endorsed) Soldier owning the motorcycle and returning from a deployment greater than 180 days. The MRT will be conducted prior to any Soldier operating his or her motorcycle on a public or private street or highway with the exception of riding to the training site or location. The MRT will be conducted on the individual’s own motorcycle to confirm ability to safely handle their motorcycle verses taking training on a smaller size/cc training motorcycle. Training will be provided through the Army Traffic Safety Training Program contractor or may be conducted at the unit level using the USACR/SC MRT DVD, which is available on request.

(5) Absent exceptional circumstances, provide training within 30 days of requests for training. Senior commanders may authorize properly licensed or permitted operators awaiting training to ride on an installation roadway subject to any restrictions imposed by such a permit.
