When were the Army Rangers formed?

The modern Ranger Regiment was created in 1986, but can trace its roots all the way back to the colonial times. They were created to provide advanced warning of raids by hostile Native American tribes and to strike back at these tribes. The spiritual birth of the Army Rangers is considered to be Roger's Rangers, formed in 1751 by Major Robert Rogers. The Rangers have fought in every American conflict, except World War 1, in some form or another. Eventually, the 75th Infantry Regiment (Ranger) was formed during the Vietnam War. After the war, the Regiment was changed into the 1st and 2nd Ranger Battalions, followed by the 3rd Ranger Battaltion and the Regimental Headquarters in 1984. In 1986, all of the Ranger Battlations were placed under the 75th Ranger Regiment. The 4th, 5th, and 6th Ranger Battalions were reactivated as the Ranger Training Brigade, the precursor to the modern-day Ranger School.

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.


When you become an army ranger do you get a rangers tattoo?

You don't get one that's mandatory. You can get one if you choose. Now im assuming you mean joining the 75th ranger regiment and being a real ranger. Just graduating ranger school doesn't make you a ranger, just ranger qualified. But yes, if you want a tattoo that is Ranger oriented, you can have it.


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.
