Who must complete the Emergency Vehicle Operator Course (EVOC)?

The Emergency Vehicle Operator Course (EVOC) is designed to ensure that all individuals operating emergency vehicles are properly trained in safe driving practices and emergency response protocols. This requirement encompasses both military personnel and Department of Navy civilian personnel because they may need to operate emergency vehicles on base in various capacities, especially during emergencies or special operations.

By including all military and Department of Navy civilian personnel, the course provides a comprehensive approach to emergency vehicle operation, ensuring that anyone who might be in a position to drive these vehicles is adequately prepared to respond to critical situations effectively and safely. This broad coverage minimizes risks associated with emergency responses, which can be vital for ensuring the safety of both personnel and civilians during emergencies.
