What do Army Rangers do on missions as opposed to Green Berets?
Misterclean5
Rangers do some Special Operations missions, but the jobs of Special Forces and Rangers are different, Rangers are Elite Light Infantry, while Special Forces go behind enemy lines and train fighters to assist in taking down a common enemy/opposing force.

∙ 8y agoUS Army Rangers are US soldiers, not all US Army soldiers are US Army Rangers.
US Army Rangers are trained better than regular soldiers are because they go into places without a lot of support. A platoon leader in the 2-22 Infantry, for instance, can get on the radio and request mortar support, artillery, air support, pretty much whatever he needs. A Ranger platoon leader can't get that kind of support most of the time because his unit is the only one around for fifty miles.

Are the green berets in delta force?
ABSOLUTELY NOT. Delta and Green Berets are two completely different special operations units with very different standards, missions, and roles. Delta Force was formed by a Green Beret (Col. Beckwith), who wanted to create a free-standing special operations unit similar to the British SAS. Delta exists outside of the traditional Army special operations hierarchy and is completely autonomous. It is the most elite, professional, covert, and exclusive special operations unit in the entire US armed forces. Only very select Green Berets and Rangers are asked to try out for Delta Selection. Only a very very small percentage of those actually make it in. Delta has actually run Selection courses where they have not accepted a single candidate. That's how elite and high Delta's standards are. So Delta is the best-of-the-best special operators (Green Berets and Rangers), who once accepted then undergo years of more specialized training. Green Berets basically specialize in unconventional warfare, training foreign armies, and some reconnaissance. Delta specializes in hostage rescue, recon, direct action, and anything else that needs extreme tactical perfection and covert surgical precision. Delta also takes part in black operations, high-value-target assassinations, etc. So Delta is a big step above the Green Berets, taking the best of them and the best Rangers, and then training them to an utter precision point. Delta is by far the most elite special operations unit that the US has to offer. Colonel Beckwith was looking to create a unit more elite and specialized than the Green Berets for the purposes of counter-terrorism, autonomous direct action missions, and black operations. Delta exists outside of the Army special operations community and is managed by the Joint Special Operations Command, with a direct line to top Department of Defense brass. Very autonomous and no bureaucracy to slow them down. Delta takes candidates that are the best Green Berets and Rangers, but only maybe 10 (at most) make it through a year. After that, they have years of more rigorous training before becoming a full operator.
