To ride a motorcycle legally in Europe, the Army requires active duty Soldiers to complete a Motorcycle Safety Foundation course.
Motorcycle Safety Course Availability for FY26
Due to temporary program-wide budget constraints in the Army Traffic Safety Training Program (ATSTP), training seats for the Motorcycle Basic Rider Course (BRC) and Advanced Rider Course (ARC) are extremely limited for the remainder of Fiscal Year 2026. This shortage is expected to last until mid-November 2026, when new fiscal year funding and task orders are finalized.
There are currently no available MSF courses available at USAG Rheinland-Pfalz, as of 15 July 2026.

Soldiers who are unable to complete the Advanced Rider Course (ARC) due to limited course seat availability should follow this U.S. Army Combat Readiness Center (CRC) guidance:
- AR 385-10 requires Soldiers to remain compliant with the Basic Rider Course (BRC)/Advanced Rider Course (ARC) progressive training requirements.
- Soldiers must complete the BRC prior to operating a motorcycle. This requirement remains unchanged.
- When a Soldier is unable to complete the ARC within the required timeframe due to limited course seat availability, and the Soldier has notified their chain of command and attempted to enroll, commanders may use their judgment to defer ARC attendance until seats become available.
- This is not an exception to policy. The ARC requirement still stands, and Soldiers are expected to attend the first available course once a seat is available.
- A commander’s acceptance of deferred enrollment meets the intent of the regulation during periods of constrained training resources.
Servicemembers who have completed their BRC training have 12 months to complete required ARC training to receive complete qualification. Servicemembers without Motorcycle Safety Foundation training cannot operate a motorcycle in Germany. U.S. Army civilian personnel / employees are not affected. The complete MSF qualification comprises BRC and ARC training. The BRC is valid for 12 months, and the ARC for 5 years; sustainment training is required before the ARC qualification expires.
