Ranger Instructors at Work

Rangers are the most elite Soldiers in the Army, capable of handling and even excelling in a variety of difficult situations. Melissa Bell shows us the Ranger Instructors who teach these Soldiers to be the best of the best, and why they do it.

Yes Sir, sir, Rangers Lead the Way. We are the best soldiers in the world!!!

Actually special forces is the most elite group in the army and delta is even more elite...

[@hurt296]

Negative. Green Berets (special forces) & Rangers both have different missions & purposes. While Delta Force is at top of the food chain, so to speak, for the Army, Rangers have a different purposes than Green Berets. It's arguable that Rangers may be tougher, they are known as the elite infantry. Then again each is trained for it's specific job.

"Special Forces is the most elite.." - folks watch too many movies. Like you said, different missions, different purposes. I was SIGINT/LLVI, & while I was at a school in Huachuca in 2003, some of the SF operators were saying Delta & SEAL guys were having a lot of trouble at altitude in Afghanistan b/c they hadn't trained up properly. It's all about mission/training/focus. Each of the "elite" units has its strengths & weaknesses.

Do you need to get ranger in your contract

[@jessegillmore1856]

I heard that Delta,1st-SFOD-D, ACE, whatever they are called now...will approach seals for tryouts? Dunno if it's TRUE, but...

to whom much is given, much is expected . . . no one ever was given anything at ranger school . . . you show up and spend the next two months ripping your training out of the uncaring ranger universe.

Hooora. Yes Sir, A USARS Strong is an Army Strong, always.

When I turn 17 (7 years) I want to become a ranger!! If I cant become a rager I am going to do Infantry! So either way I will most likely be coming to fort benning

A lot of Green Berets have gone through Ranger School and Delta recruits mostly from the Green Berets and the 75th Ranger Regiment.

[@RangerCaptain11A]

where else would they recruit . . . at a video game tournament?
