Is it legal to force soldiers to relinquish their state drivers license to act as collateral in exchange for a fuel card?

So I currently work as a RTO and one of the desk sgts is making a new policy that patrols have to relinquish their state drivers license to exchange for a fuel card. I believe this to be illegal and suggested that we use a hand receipt instead but was ignored. Am I wrong in this being illegal?

You need your license to drive. I am sure this can be accomplished some other way. Speak with your leadership.

So he's forcing you to drive without a license. Maybe you should write yourself a 1408

Yeah I tried pointing that put too sir. But the reply was you still have your military driver's license.

SPC (Join to see) NCOs do not make policy, they enforce them. Patrol vehicles are not added to military licenses and do not require one. In order to operate a GSA vehicle, you need to have a state drivers license. Unless it is a special vehicle such as a bus. Buses get annotated on your military license and on your DA FM 348. So what this Desk SGT is trying to do is not correct. I'm pretty sure they are making sure the fuel card comes back after shift. With all that said, don't try and punk out this misguided NCO. Let the PMO Operations SGT know about the situation and let them handle it.
