No you can only be one. When your in the 75th Ranger Regiment its considered a lateral move to go to Green Beret. Green Beret takes extensive training and to keep you fresh eventually they will send you to "Ranger School". It's mainly a leadership school but is meant for light infantry training. So in that since you can have the Ranger Tab and be in the Green Berets, but you can not be in the Ranger Regiment and be Special Forces.

∙ 13y agoNo. You can attend SFAS and the Q Course without ever having been to Ranger School. You're not even required to have been in a Combat Arms MOS to attend SFAS - I know people who've been in food service, and have attended SFAS.

∙ 12y agoNo. They are very different but special in essence. They both handle unconventional battles. The two forces specialize in different types, however.
Rangers take on the most brutal missions, as they are trained to fight in places the regular Army is too big to fight. Their missions are extremely high risk. They train to fight ANYWHERE on land and water. Their primary jobs are to fly into a battle and directly engage important enemies. They go through the Ranger Indoctrination Program or "rip". This is a course that introduces new soldiers to life expected of them and weeds out the unqualified. Next, the soldier go through about two more years of extreme survival training before being Ranger qualified. Less 30% of all students graduate Ranger school.
Special Forces deal with covert operations. They take on missions that may not be a good idea for the regular Army to get involved in or may conflict with civil interests, such as hostage rescue and assassinations. They are trained to get as close to the enemy as possible, study them, and eliminate them. They are trained to fight under tough conditions and are required to have a sharp mind. Many of the situations they may find themselves in require them to think outside the box. Note that a significant amount of Green Berets are qualified to be Rangers. Special Forces Selection is considered the toughest and most elite school in the Army.
Special forces are called Green Berets because they wear green berets as a part of their uniforms.
Rangers are a different force within the U.S. Army. They wear tan berets, while in uniform.
There is another force in the Army called the Delta Force. Delta Force is generic term use to describe them. They are so secret, nobody knows they exist. Not even The President. They represent the most elite core of the the Special Forces. They are the best of the best. They make up less than 1% of the entire U.S. Military.

"The Green Berets" is a nickname referring to the United States Army Special Forces. After being selected for and completing the Special Forces Qualification Course, conducted at the Special Warfare Center (SWC) in Ft. Bragg North Carolina, soldiers are allowed to wear the Special Forces tab and the Green Beret. However not long ago, anyone working in Group Support Battalions were allowed to wear a green beret. This was reversed and stands today allowing only those holding the Special Forces Military Occupation Specialty to wear the Green Beret.Additional AnswerThe green beret is also worn by Royal Marine commandos, and this predates the US special forces' use of the green beret. The green beret must be 'earned', as it is only issued to a marine upon completion of training.

Why is the special forces beret green?
Around WW2, select US Army Rangers and OSS operatives were taken over to the UK to complete the British commando course. Upon completion, they were issued the green beret. After the war, these soldiers then went on to become the first members of the newly formed Army Special Forces. They kept the British green berets as a sign of pride, but they were not sanctioned for wear by the Army. President Kennedy saw an exhibition by them and was very impressed, officially authorizing the beret to wear by US Special Forces only. The Army then took a Canadian beret design and created new US Army green berets for the Special Forces soldiers. There's more information on this on the US Army Special Forces Wikipedia page.

The Green Berets became a very real distinction of excellence among special forces at that very moment.
Are there Green berets in the Marine Corps?
To my knowledge no. The Green Berets are Army Special forces and without enlisting in the army you wouldn't be able to join. A possible exception to this may be in the Delta Force. But the Marines recently made a special forces unit just as good if not better than the Army Special Forces. Keep in mind though that any special forces training is ridiculously hard, usually requires you to have field experience, and often times people come to you instead of vise versa. So its not really like just signing up for the swim team.
