Does army infantry jump out of planes?
Some do, some don't. Only airborne personnel jump out of aircraft - not just infantry, but also support personnel, if they are on active jump status. To be on active jump status, your unit has to be on active jump status. Such units include the 82nd Airborne Division, 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team, Long Range Surveillance Detachments (LRS-D) assigned to line divisions, the 75th Ranger Regiment, and Special Forces.
Are all army rangers airborne?
A Anyone serving in the 75th Ranger Regiment is on active jump status. As for simply being Ranger qualified, being jump qualified isn't a requirement. However, for someone to be sent to Ranger School without being sent to jump school first is rare, but not entirely unheard of. totaly absurd: To be part of the 1st,2nd or any ranger Batt you must pass airborne training You must be jump qualified no if and or buts. The only persons who have gone thru ranger trianing without being jump qualified are trainees during WWII Ive served with the 1st ranger batt,2nd ranger batt,1/509 airborne and 5 special forces.

Are the us army ranger a fulltime active duty or part time?
You can be Ranger qualified, and be in any component. However, the Ranger battalions are active duty units, and there are no Ranger units in the Army Reserve or National Guard.
Can you be in the Army Reserve and be a Ranger at the same time?
If you earned your Ranger tab on active duty prior to joining the Army Reserve, you will still continue to be Ranger qualified. If you are simply serving in the US Army Reserve and intent to be sent to Ranger school from your Reserve unit, your chances are slim to none, and you would be better off to join the National Guard and try to get into a Special Forces unit of the National Guard. If you are looking to serve in a Ranger unit of the US Army Reserve, then this will be impossible, as there are no such units in the Army Reserve. The US Army Reserve is composed of training and support units, with all combat arms relegated to the Regular Army and Army National Guard. The one exception to this is the 100th Battalion, 442nd Infantry Regiment, which is an infantry battalion of the US Army Reserve, which is composed of reservists from Hawaii, American Samoa, Saipan, and Guam.
How many people enlist for army rangers?
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.
