The history of the Army Rangers predates the United States itself. Although the names of its various units have changed over the years, the lineage of the 75th Ranger Regiment traces back to King Philip’s War in the 17th century.
Today, the 75th Ranger Regiment is the US Army’s only special operations light infantry unit. With a mission set that includes seizing and holding key terrain, capturing or killing high-profile enemy combatants, and direct-action raids, the regiment is capable of deploying all three battalions anywhere in the world within 18 hours.
