Ice-T did serve in the Army for four years, after graduating from high school. However, he was never in any unit of the 75th Ranger Regiment, and the line from "Law and Order: SVU" where his character presents himself as a former member of the Rangers who served in Somalia was not intended to be any sort of reflection of Ice-T's time in the Army.

Not a conventional US Army division. But the US Army's 75th Rangers were in South Vietnam.

Kilo 75th (K company) may have been in either II or III Corps, etc.
Is army ranger training tougher than marine basic training?
Yes. The Army Ranger's RIP (Ranger Indoctrination Program) is much harder than USMC Basic Combat Training. The final phase of RIP is spent near Fort Eglin, Florida, and involves a night time air drop into the swamps of Florida. - - - - - There are actually two "Ranger Training" schools, and both are tougher than Marine boot camp. Ranger School is a 61-day course focusing on small-unit tactics. It has three phases--the Benning Phase at Fort Benning; the Mountain Phase at Camp Merrill, GA, and the Florida Phase at Eglin Air Force Base, FL. Any combat arms soldier can go to Ranger School; it is required for NCOs and Officers assigned to the 75th Ranger Regiment. The 8-week Ranger Assessment and Selection Program replaced the Ranger Indoctrination Program. It's twice as long (RIP was four weeks) and twice as tough. Most guys do not fail RASP. They quit. Forty percent of everyone who arrives at RASP quits the first day. Eighty percent of everyone who goes to RASP quits before the end of the course. That school is no joke.

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.
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.
