What's the difference between going through U.S. Army Ranger Training and being assigned to a U.S. Army Ranger Regiment?
The biggest difference between going through and graduating from the U.S. Army Ranger School and being assigned to the U.S. Army Ranger Regiment would be becoming a member of the U.S. Army 75th Ranger Regiment or not. There's a big difference between serving with the U.S. Army Ranger Regiment, and wearing a patch on your uniform that says you completed U.S. Army Ranger School. Completing U.S. Army Ranger School does not make a soldier a 'Ranger', only serving with the U.S. Army Ranger Regiment does. To go through U.S. Army Ranger School to become part of the U.S. Army Ranger Regiment, you'd first have to be in or go in to the U.S. Army, and secondly be male (females are not allowed in U.S. Army Ranger School nor in the 75th Ranger Regiment), then you'd have to eligible and be accepted to go through the U.S. Army Ranger Training. U.S. Army Ranger School, taught by theRanger Training Brigade at Ft. Benning, GA, USA, requires a selection course, called the Pre-Ranger Course, after soliders complete U.S. Army Basic Training, U.S. Army Advanced Individual Training (to obtain an MOS), and U.S. Army Airborne School. The purpose of the Pre-Ranger Course, which lasts fourteen days and is held at Ft. Benning, is to 'prepare Soliders to succeed at the U.S. Army Ranger School'. Ranger candidates then enter their the official 'Ranger School' at the U.S. Army Ranger Training Brigade, for four weeks at Ft. Benning. Their training involves extensive small unit infantry tactics and is a very physically and mentally challenged course that includes jungle and mountain terrains with a lot of focus on leadership under strenuous and duress scenarios. Ranger candidates can enter U.S. Army Ranger School as an E1 to E4, and after completing Ranger Training, they serve with the U.S. Army 75h Ranger Regiment, which has three Battalions (1st, 2nd, 3rd).
