7 FORT DRUM, N.Y. (April 29, 2021) Before a Soldier can ride a motorcycle on or off post, he or she must first complete the initial Army Safety Training Program course and receive a Motorcycle Safety Foundation card.
That was the goal for a small group of 10th Mountain Division (LI) Soldiers when they gathered at the motorcycle range April 27 for the hands-on, on-the-road portion of the Basic Rider Course (BRC).
“In this course, they learn the basic fundamentals of operating a motorcycle, which will allow them to develop a safety strategy for riding,” said Kathy Matt, a motorcycle instructor based out of Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.
