Which responsibility is NOT assigned to vehicle operators?

In the context of vehicle operators, operational readiness, liability for loads carried, and safety checks before operation are all fundamental responsibilities that ensure the safe and effective use of military vehicles. Vehicle operators must ensure that the vehicles they operate are ready for duty, they are held responsible for the cargo they transport, and they are required to conduct thorough safety checks before any operation to prevent accidents and ensure mission success.

However, vehicle repair and maintenance tasks are typically not the direct responsibility of vehicle operators. While operators may perform basic maintenance such as checking fluid levels or tire pressures and reporting issues, in-depth repair and maintenance tasks are generally assigned to specialized personnel such as mechanics or technicians. This division ensures that vehicle operators can focus on safe and effective driving performance while leaving the technical aspects of vehicle repair to trained specialists who have the necessary skills and equipment.
