Ranger

colloquial reference to the united states army 75th ranger regiment, often referred to as “special forces” by people who don’t know what they’re talking about.

while the 75th is a special operations unit under the command of the united states army special operations command (usasoc), they are in reality the best-equipped and best-trained light infantry unit in the world – special forces refer only to the units colloquially known as the “green berets.” enlisted special forces operators are all non-commissioned officers of the rank of sergeant or above, while the rangers encomp-ss the entire spectrum of ranks from private (fresh out of ranger indoctrination) up to command sergeant major.

there are three ranger battalions; two are stationed in georgia and the other at fort lewis, wa.

can also refer to a soldier who is not a member of the 75th ranger regiment who is a graduate of the us army ranger school (ranger-tabbed).
