A tracked vehicle is pulled from a mire pit July 19, 2018, on North Post by an M88A1 Medium-Tracked Recovery Vehicle after it was “stuck” as part of course training for the Regional Training Site (RTS)-Maintenance Tracked Vehicle Recovery Course. The course was the last of three sessions held during fiscal year 2018. The course provides the H8 additional skill identifier for 91-series Soldiers and consists of 134 hours of classroom, field, and hands-on training. The course focuses on determining recovery methods; operating metal-cutting equipment; tracked vehicle preventive maintenance checks and services and basic issue items; driving tracked recovery vehicles and operating the various winches on those vehicles; booms, hoists, and auxiliary equipment; recovering mired and overturned tracked vehicles; towing disabled tracked vehicles; and self-recovery of tracked vehicles. Each session of the course includes approximately 12 students. RTS-Maintenance at Fort McCoy trains Soldiers from both active- and reserve-component forces. (U.S. Army Photo by Scott T.
