US ARMY COMBAT READINESS CENTER READINESS THROUGH SAFETY Mishap Synopsis Mission: An M1097R1 HMMWV was the last vehicle in a five-vehicle convoy and enroute to participate in a four-day training event. A noncommissioned officer identified drivers and vehicle commanders for the movement who were in turn notified of their assignments via email. The unit TAMMS clerk dispatched the vehicles the week prior to the convoy. As the drivers reported for the day of the convoy, the TAMMS clerk issued the dispatches and instructed the drivers to conduct preventive maintenance checks and services on their assigned vehicles. The drivers conducted PMCS without supervision, without basic issue items (BII) or with authorization list (AAL) items such as tire pressure gauges or technical manuals. After completing pre-combat checks and pre-combat inspections, the convoy departed. Along the route, the fourth and fifth vehicles separated from the convoy. Seventy miles from the start point, the driver lost control of the HMMWV and impacted a guard rail adjacent to the shoulder of the freeway.
