The M984 Tactical 8x8 10T Wrecker is operated by which MOS?

• A. 91B
• B. 92D
• C. 11B
• D. 88M

Answer: (A)

Wheeled vehicle maintenance and recovery capability is what this question tests. The M984 wrecker is a heavy recovery vehicle, so the crew member who operates and keeps it running needs solid hands-on skills in diagnosing and repairing wheeled military vehicles, as well as proficiency with the vehicle’s recovery gear (winch, boom, hydraulics). That combination is taught in the Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic MOS, which is the role trained to service engines, drivetrains, electrical systems, and hydraulic components, and to operate the wrecker’s recovery equipment in the field.

Infantry roles focus on combat tasks rather than vehicle maintenance, and the Motor Transport Operator role centers on driving and transporting rather than performing the heavy maintenance and recovery operations on specialized vehicles. So the Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic is the best fit for operating the M984 wrecker.
