There is a universal requirement for all roles to maintain a standard of responsibility, presentation, and basic soldiering skills. My role in particular, as a specialist driver, is to transport packages and personnel securely within a given time frame and occasionally facilitate reconnaissance. The role also requires maintaining equipment to standard, and participating in planning and executing strategic maneuvers. Show less
