Were the 101st and 82nd airborne units in World War 2 also Rangers?
The airborne units and the ranger units were separate and distinct during WW II and are still that way today. However, many of those who went to ranger training and became part of the units came from the ranks of the 82nd and 101st. In today's army it is required that all candidates for ranger school first become airborne qualified. *Added* Many of the initial cadre of the initial Rangers, 1st Ranger Battalion under Brig. Gen. (Then Lt Col) William Orlando Darby, came from the Red Bull Division, 34th ID.
