Best Answer

No. The function of an officer is to lead and direct, not move as part of a fire team. The M249s will remain with the squad automatic riflemen, whose function is to primarily engage the enemy directly. As an officer, you would be much to busy to serve concurrently in a fire suppression role, and assigning an officer a weapon such as the M249 only takes away from the platoon's overall firepower. Not all, but many line officers who see combat service will never even fire a shot.

What ranks do us army rangers have?

The Commanding Officer of the 75th Ranger Regiment holds the rank of Colonel. The Rangers are, however, a part of SOCOM, which is commanded by a four star General or Admiral, so a Ranger officer could potentially progress further up the ranks within (or out of) SOCOM.


How do you get into the 75th ranger regiment?

Not everyone in 75th Ranger Regiment is actually a Ranger. They have cooks, mechanics, and the same support personnel any other unit would have. So, you could get into the 75th Ranger Regiment that way. If you actually want to be a Ranger, there's a couple different ways to go. Personnel just entering the Army would have to go in under a RIP (Ranger Indoctrination Programme) contract, which would limit the MOS choices available to them. 11B (infantry) is the most common, but there'll also be medics, communications personnel, etc. After your Basic Training and Advanced Individual Training (or One Station Unit Training for infantry), you would first go to jump school, then to RIP. If you pass RIP, you can be assigned to a Ranger battalion. If not, you'll be sent to some line unit. If you're already a noncommissioned officer or commissioned officer, and want to go to a line company of a Ranger battalion in a leadership position, you will first need to complete Ranger school, which is a requirement for combat leaders in the 75th Ranger Regiment.


Can you go from the 101st Airborne to 75th Ranger regiment?

Yes, you can, although the likelihood of your chain of command facilitating it is questionable. If you were lower enlisted, you'd have to attend RIP. If you're an NCO or officer, you'd have to have attended and completed Ranger School first.


If you graduate from West Point what do you have to do to become a US Army Ranger and do you keep your rank?

As a Commissioned Officer, your first priority would be to attend the Ranger School - the Ranger Regiment doesn't permit you to hold any leadership position until you have the tab. Other than that, you simply volunteer for it. Of course you'd keep your rank if you were selected.. you'd still be a cherry LT, either way. If you're going into any Combat Arms as an officer, you can expect that you'll be expected to attend Ranger School. So, even if you don't get into the 75th Ranger Regiment (such slots are limited and in very high demand), your chances of attending the school are still pretty good.

How Can an enlisted become a Real Ranger?

Well, do you mean simply go to Ranger school, or be in the 75th Ranger Regiment? To go into the 75th Ranger Regiment as lower enlisted, you'd have to enlist with a RIP contract. After you completed OSUT or Basic/AIT (depending on your MOS), you'd go to Jump School, then you'd attend RIP. If you pass RIP, you'd be assigned to one of the Ranger Battalions. Once you're promoted to the rank of Specialist, you can attend the Ranger School (whether you're assigned to the Ranger Regiment or not). If you complete Ranger School, you'll be tabbed and Ranger qualified. If you weren't in a Ranger Battalion prior to Ranger School, you'd then be eligible for reassignment to one.
