      The 75th Ranger Regiment, known as the Army Rangers, is the U.S. Army's premier light infantry unit specializing in direct-action raids and special operations. Tracing its lineage to colonial-era ranger units, the regiment was officially activated in 1984, consolidating the 1st and 2nd Ranger Battalions formed during World War II. Throughout its history, the regiment has participated in significant operations, including the invasions of Grenada and Panama, and has been actively engaged in the Global War on Terrorism, conducting missions in Afghanistan and Iraq.

      Headquartered at Fort Benning, Georgia, the 75th Ranger Regiment comprises a regimental headquarters company, a military intelligence battalion, a special troops battalion, and three Ranger battalions. The regiment is renowned for its rapid deployment capabilities, able to mobilize a battalion within 18 hours of notification. Its missions encompass direct action raids, airfield seizures, special reconnaissance, and personnel recovery. Notably, on December 17, 2020, the regiment marked 7,000 consecutive days of combat operations, underscoring its pivotal role in U.S. military engagements.
