Becoming a Ranger is an honor shared by a select few, calling for mental toughness, physical fitness, moral character, and motivation to endure the challenges you’ll face in the field. You’ll be a member of one of five battalions, on a team designed to complete missions that call for speed, precision, and heavy firepower, including rifles, machine guns, and explosives. Army Ranger missions consist of three main pillars that include a wide variety of enemy combat operations. Army Rangers take on some of the most advanced and rigorous training in the Army. Additionally, you must have a specific Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) authorized to be hired by the 75th Ranger Regiment, including Infantryman (11B), Wheeled Vehicle Mechanic (91B), Parachute Rigger (92R), and many more. Re-class into a Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) found in the 75th Ranger Regiment.

In Phase 1, you’ll go through physical and psychological tests, as well as be assessed on your strength of character and leadership skills. This phase includes a 12-mile ruck march with a 35-pound dry rucksack in full uniform, land navigation exercises, and medical first responder tests.
Step 02: 3 Weeks: RASP Phase 2
Phase 2 includes skills training. You’ll prepare for Ranger duties by learning the skills and techniques for direct-action combat, airfield seizure, personnel recovery, marksmanship, and explosives.
Step 03 (VOLUNTARY): 61 Days: Ranger School
Ranger School is completely voluntary, but necessary to lead in the 75th Ranger Regiment.
