Army drivers are instructed in Jackals at DST Leconfield

The Defence School of Transport (DST), based at Normandy Barracks, Leconfield, East Yorkshire, was formed in 1996 as the Centre of Excellence for providing driver and transport management training to personnel from the Army, Royal Air Force and Royal Marines.

The DST provides more than 140 different courses delivering transport management and operation training, for approximately 19,000+ trainees a year.

At any one time the DST is able to train up to 1500 personnel. This makes the DST probably the largest residential driver training school in the world.

"Producing combat drivers trained for the harshest conditions worldwide"
In addition to core training of military personnel, DST provides specialist training to the Police, Fire Service and overseas training to Defence Attachés, bespoke courses for foreign customers, and additional courses to support operations in Afghanistan and Northern Ireland.

Training is delivered by an establishment of 230 military, 800+ civil servants and support staff and some 250 contract staff. The DST has nine satellite locations in the south of England providing car licence acquisition.
