The Army Rangers: Missions and History.

The Rangers of the 75th Regiment

The 75th Ranger Regiment is a deadly, nimble, and adaptable force capable of carrying out a wide range of difficult collaborative special operations missions. The Army's main direct-action raid unit today is the Ranger regiment. Each of the four geographically distributed Ranger battalions is constantly battle ready, psychologically and physically robust, and ready to confront the enemies of our nation. Their skills include executing airborne and air assault operations, capturing or killing adversaries, taking vital territory such as airfields, damaging critical infrastructure, and capturing or killing enemies. Rangers may execute squad to regimental-size operations and have the resources to maintain remarkable proficiency, experience, and readiness. The regiment is still an all-volunteer unit that goes through a rigorous screening and selection procedure before receiving combat-focused training. The 75th Ranger Regiment is a proud unit and a team of teams dedicated to serving the country.

Their addresses are as follows:

Hunter Army Airfield, Ga.

Fort Lewis, Washington, is home to the 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment.

Rangers Take the Lead!

The 75th Ranger Regiment embraces the "Big five mentality" for the success of the individual Ranger and the Ranger mission: marksmanship, physical training, medical training, small-unit tactics, and mobility.

RASP 1 is an eight-week training that prepares soldiers from private to sergeant in the fundamental abilities and tactics necessary to function in the 75th Ranger Regiment. Rangers who complete this course will have the necessary abilities, training, and confidence to serve in the 75th Ranger Regiment.

Officers, warrant officers, and senior non-commissioned officers (staff sergeant to command sergeant major) are required to attend RASP 2, a three-week school aimed at identifying the finest leadership from throughout the Army. This training analyzes the fitness of mid- and senior-level commanders for assignment to the regiment and teaches them the Ranger Regiment's operational procedures and standards. This course teaches the distinctive tactics, equipment, and missions that distinguish the Regiment. Applicants who successfully complete this training will be assigned to the 75th Ranger Regiment.
