Best Answer

An Army Ranger is considered by many Rangers as only someone serving in the 75th Ranger Regiment. Others (including the Army) insist that an Army Ranger is a graduate of the Army Ranger School and authorized to wear the Ranger Patch, which includes thousands or Army, Marines, and men from friendly governments who have completed the course.

Rangers are a small and elite force dedicated to light Infantry operations and tactics. Potential use is of a specialized nature with limited manpower, limited sustainability and no heavy weapons support. They are what might have once been called expendable, spoilers, a delaying force or a shoot and scoot outfit. As individuals, they cannot and should not be compared with the 200,000 man Marine Corps. Marines can seize, occupy and defend anything, anywhere and anytime until relieved, They were never intended to be Nation Builders. That toolbox remains in the Army's domain. They were intended to be shock troops and first responders to an International crisis.

The answer is a simple No. They have different missions and different tools.

Can a soldier in the USMC transfer to the army rangers?

Well, this could be seen as a trick question - "soldier" is a term exclusive to the Army - Marines are Marines. That aside, the answer is no. If someone receives an honourable discharge from the Marines, and decides to reenlist into the Army, they could go through RIP (if they're below E5) to go into a Ranger Battalion, or, if they're E5 or higher, they could go directly in if they have already graduated from the US Army Ranger School (which some Marines do attend).
