Army ranger vs navy seal?

Internationally Unites are ranked

on a Special Operations Forces Tier System:

Tier One: Team 6, Delta, SAS

Tier Two: Seals, Berets

Tier Three: Army Rangers

Special Operations Tiers are based on budets and Rangers spend more money than the others because there are more of them. You cannot really compare SOCOM Units the way people do because the mission and structures vary so much. SEAL 6 or Delta wouldn't stand a chance against a Ranger Battallion, A Ranger Battalion would probably notlike what they ran into if a single SF Team had been in country for 1 year doing what they do. I was a member of 2nd Ranger Bat and I could travel through the woods over great distances with considerable weight better than about every SEAL I met and every SEAL I met could smoke me in the water. What about PJ's, CCT, 160th, RRD no one ever mentions them maybe they are the best. The units have different missions an 18 man A team can't seize a defended runway and a 300 man assault force can't sneak up on much of anything. So the A team sneaks in and looks it over then tells the assault force what is going on and the two together conduct / coordinate the assault (example Panama Invasion) which included SEALS and others. Every member in the Special Operations Community is profficient land, sea or air but all have various specialties and specific training. The only group that seems to always be there no matter who is there (Seals, Rangers, SAS, CIA, etc.) is 160th but wait they are pilots they can't be the best but I would bet that they save more friendly lifes and inflict more enemy casualties than any force that has ever beeen on this planet. They are involved no matter who is fighting. There is no best and if you think that any of them are easy or that one is not as good at what they do as the others then sign up and go see for yourself who is the best. If you want to rate exceptional people then walk in their shoes so you have a frame of reference because when talking special operations you don't have a frame of reference until you live some of it if you really want to know go be one they are all the best at what they do.

Why was guerrilla warfare effective against the British?

In which instance? I mean, the guerrillas lost in Malaysia. Their "victory" in Ireland was due more to the British public being war-weary after World War I and a failure of British Intelligence to realize that the Irish Republican Army was on the verge of extinction after the blundered attack on the Customs House in Dublin. EOKA could have been said to have been effective, largely because the British weren't that determined to hold onto Cyprus.

The advantage irregulars have is typically that they know the lay of the land, and they come from the population of that land. Thus, they tend to enjoy more local support and intimacy with the terrain.

What does army ranger training encompass?

Ranger School has three different sections, or phases. Students are given a clear objective, but have their choice in how to achieve this.

The first phase, or Benning Phase, tests a student's mental and physical strength, leadership capabilities, and other skills required for the next phases. First phase is split into two sections: Ranger Assessment Phase, or RAP, and Squad Operations. RAP is where the majority of student fall out. It contains a physical tests with push ups, sits ups, & chin ups; a 5-mile run within 40 minutes; Combat Water Survival, which tests your abilities with heights and water; night and day navigation tests; 3 mile run with a 25-meter section where you must crawl under barbed wire; demolitions; an Airborne School refresher; and a 15-mile ruck march from one part of Benning to another. The second section deals with squad tactics, patrolling, demolitions, field craft, and communications.

Second phase, or Mountain Phase, deals with combat operations in mountainous environments. The main purpose is to test the student's mental strength. A student could be tired and hungry, and they could be asked to lead a patrol through difficult terrain, even if they just got back from one. The choice of mountains for this section is to induce a feeling of being in the middle of nowhere and knowing how to survive. You also learn how to climb and abseil down mountains and cliffs. You learn how to move across miles of mountainous terrain; ambush enemy patrols, vehicles, and sites; and parachute into small drops zones.

The last and third phase, or Florida Phase, teaches waterborne operations, small boat training, and how to operate in swampy or water environments. You learn how to recognize venomous and non-venomous snakes and how to deal with them. You also go through a 10-day field exercise where you learn how to execute raids and assaults in urban environments. If you pass all three phases, you are awarded your Ranger tab.

What airborne division does the 3rd ranger battalion belong to?

None. The three Ranger Battalions are subordinate to the 75th Ranger Regiment, which is subordinate directly to SOCOM. They're not part of any line brigade or division.

Can a 91B go to ranger school?

Technically, Ranger School is not an MOS specific school, so - at least in theory - even someone with the MOS of a cook, motor transport operator, PAC clerk, etc. could go to Ranger School. However, you could only go if your unit was allotted slots for Ranger School, which most non-combat units were not, and which line units would typically reserve only for their officers and actual line troops (infantry, cavalry, combat medics, etc.).

The MOS of 91B used to be combat medic, until the reorganisation which took place between 2001 and 2004. Now, combat medics are 68W, and 91B is wheeled vehicle mechanic. With what was said above, you technically could go to Ranger School, but your being able to secure a slot for Ranger School (especially if you're not in a line unit) is highly unlikely.

What is an Internet ranger?

'Internet Ranger' is a term used to describe the posers and wannabes who falsely claim credentials they've never earned on various forums and chat rooms. In some cases, they may have actually been service members who hype themselves up to be more than what they really were, and, in some cases, they may never have been in the military at all.

Another term for the case of service members who make such claims is "PX Ranger", implying that they've simply bought a bunch of tabs and ribbons at the PX, and wear them without having actually earned them.

Since 2001, there's been a particularly large rash of imposters making false claims. One of the more notorious of these was Jesse MacBeth, who was chaptered out of Basic Training, but turned around and, under the false claim of having served in the 3rd Ranger Battalion, made false claims of war crimes, including a claim that he singlehandedly executed over 200 people.

However, this is something which is in no way unique or exclusive to this age or this war - Vietnam, Korea, and both World Wars have had their share of those trying to falsely claim military service or put forth false claims of valour regarding their service.

How many years were the army rangers in Vietnam?

Although elements of the US Army Rangers could've conducted operations as early as Eisenhower's administration in 1955, since they were experienced in such functions, it's always easier to accept the fact that the 75th Rangers arrived with the primary line units in '65; and not departing completely until '75.

The bulk of the US troops may have departed in '73, but special operation units were far from done with their work. They stayed, until it was all over.

Why does a lower ranking soldier walk to the left of a higher ranking soldier?

The right is what's known as the "position of honour", and stems from English tradition. A knight would hold their sword in their right hand, and their shield in their left. Thus, walking to the left is a sort of acknowledgment that they are 'shielded' by the senior person, in a sense.

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 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.

Was Ice-t in ranger battalion?

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.

If you threw a baseball straight up in the air and caught it when was the baseball going the fastest?

The ball is traveling the fastest the moment it leaves your hand.

When the ball reaches its apex - the highest point - it is going zero MPH. It then relies solely on gravity to come back down, as it has no other energy forces to bring it down.

Throwing the ball up requires more force so the ball can combat gravity. More force equals more speed equals more height.

Do the US Army Rangers choose their own rifles?

No. They get a choice of what weapons system they're assigned to, and that's it. If a lower enlisted member wants to be put on a different weapons system, they can request it, and their chain of command will make the determination as to whether or not to do this.
