I believe the answer is:

scout car

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'military vehicle for which driver should be prepared?' is the definition.
'scout car' can be an answer for 'military vehicle' (scout car is a kind of military vehicle). I am not sure about the remainder of the definition.

'military vehicle for' is the wordplay.
'military' becomes 'scout' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'vehicle for' becomes 'car' (I've seen this in other clues).
'scout'+'car'='SCOUT CAR'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for scout car that I've seen before include "Military patroller" , "Fast armoured vehicle" , "reconnaissance vehicle" .)
