The 75th Ranger Regiment, a distinguished airborne unit of the U.S. Army, boasts a rich history dating back to Colonial America, earning a reputation as one of the most resilient forces in the U.S. Military.

• Motto: "Rangers Lead the Way"

Rangers are renowned for undertaking various sensitive missions, guided by the principles outlined in the Ranger Handbook:

R.A.S.P. 1st Phase

The First Phase of R.A.S.P. involves rigorous Physical Training, lasting approximately 10 hours a day. Activities include calisthenics, flutterkicks, pushups, pullups, firemen carry, windsprints, ruck marches and runs, monkey bar training, log PT, team PT, 30 feet rope climbing, and 6 feet wall climbing. Candidates must maintain an average score of 60% on the APFT initially, which increases to 75% throughout the phase. Failure may result from inadequate points on a Ranger History Test, including the writing of the 6 stanzas of the Rangers Creed.

R.A.S.P. 2nd Phase

The second Phase of RASP emphasizes specialized training, focusing less on physical testing as candidates are already in optimal physical shape. Specialized skills in shooting, combat diving, explosives, breaching techniques, and mental evaluations such as the Shipley IQ test, Jackson Personality test, MMPI, and a Pre-Lie test are emphasized.

Abram's Charter

"The Ranger Battalion is to be an elite, light, and most proficient infantry battalion in the world. A Battalion that can do things with its hands and weapons better than anyone. The Battalion will contain no 'hoodlums or brigands,' and if the battalion is formed from such persons, it will be disbanded. Wherever the battalion goes, it must be apparent that it is the best."
