Job Details
Other Ranks (Non Technical) (Reserve)
The role of a Motor Transport Driver (MTD) in the Royal Australian Air Force Active Reserve is to provide driving support within all areas of operations. MTD personnel within the Royal Australian Air Force Active Reserve (RAAFAR) are trained in preparation for their operational role in one of the RAAF operational units. These units may include expeditionary and in-situ combat support squadrons, logistics operational support units, combat support hospitals, maintenance or flying squadrons, wings and higher command headquarters. MTD personnel may also be employed to undertake driving instructor duties.
MTD personnel will be employed in core driver duties involving the operation of specialist vehicles, including aircraft refuelling tankers, runway sweepers, forklifts and the transport and storage of explosive ordnance and hazardous stores.
The operational role of an MTD will require them to develop the specialised Ground Defence skills and knowledge needed to perform their duties in an operational environment. MTDs will also be required to undergo specialist training in order to carry out their duties in the fields of general driving duties, aircraft refuelling and motor transport operations.
Career progression beyond SGT requires members to remuster. Remuster to Movements (MOV) is usually recommended, as MTD duties are subsumed within the MOV mustering within the Permanent Air Force.
