If there are any Vietnam era Rangers still serving in the US Army today (the youngest could be no younger than 48), then, yes. Soldiers who have served in combat in companies who wore unit tabs such as those worn by Rangers are authorized to wear the tab on their left shoulder. In fact, those who do not may be considered out of uniform.
I have been wearing a RG pc from eagle for a few years. no one has said anything yet.
Korean War Ranger Companies was created in 1950.
Yes. Soldiers from any foreign military with friendly relations to the U.S. can and do attend Ranger School. Usually about 5% of a graduating ranger class are international soldiers.
You can go to the Army Ranger Course and recieve the tab but it is not authorized to wear on any AF uniform.
The term Army Ranger is thrown around frequently but it actually refers to a person who serves/served in the 75th Ranger Regiment. At any given time there are roughly 2,000-2,200 Rangers serving in 3 Ranger Battalions and 75th Ranger Regimental Headquarters. Many people mistakenly believe that a soldier who graduates from the US Army's Ranger School are, in fact, Rangers. In reality they have only graduated from a school. Some of this confusion comes about because all soldiers who serve in the 75th Ranger Regiment must, at some point, complete Ranger School. Ranger School is open to all soldiers, primarily combat arms, and being awarded a Ranger Tab makes many people believe that they are Rangers. The modern day 75th Ranger Regiment traces its lineage back through Vietnam, WWII, The Revolutionary War and even back to England when men would protect the king's forest from poachers. They would ask "how far did you range today?" which led to the term Ranging/Rangers.
'Imperial Defence Services' ( UK based ) assembled in the Philippines , probably from parts sourced from Vietnam ?
Becoming an Army Ranger would mean you have completed and passed RIP, Airborne and Ranger school and belong/serve in a Ranger Batt. There are many 62 day Rangers. These are Soldiers who go through RIP, Airborne and Ranger school and then go back to their original job and unit. Both have Ranger Tabs. Only Ranger's assigned to one of the 75th Ranger Battalions wear the Tab and Scroll.

Ranger Shotguns were sold by Sears Roebuck and Company. Several companies made the Ranger including J. Stevens Arms, Merlin, and Hunter Arms.
The US Army Rangers were created by Colonel William O. Darby in 1942 during World War II. Darby established the first Ranger battalion, known as the 1st Ranger Battalion, which served as the model for the creation of additional Ranger units.
Not a conventional US Army division. But the US Army's 75th Rangers were in South Vietnam. The 75th had "Ranger" companies strung out in each MR (Military Region I, II, III, and IV/also called I Corps, II Corps, etc.). For example P company (called Papa 75th Rangers) were in I Corps. Kilo 75th (K company) may have been in either II or III Corps, etc.
POSSIBLY a Savage Model 29. Several companies made firearms under the Ranger name- Sears being one of the more prolific.
