The 75th Ranger Regiment, also known as Army Rangers,[3] is the premier light infantry unit of the United States Army. The 75th is also part of the United States Army Special Operations Command and the Department of Defense Joint Special Operations Command .[1][4] The regiment is headquartered at Fort Moore, Georgia and is composed of a regimental headquarters company, a military intelligence battalion, a special troops battalion, and three Ranger battalions.
The 75th Ranger Regiment primarily handles direct action raids in hostile or sensitive environments, often killing or capturing high-value targets. Other missions include airfield seizure, special reconnaissance, personnel recovery, clandestine insertion, and site exploitation.[4][5] The regiment can deploy one Ranger battalion within eighteen hours of alert notification.[4]
The 75th Ranger Regiment is one of the U.S. military's most extensively used units. On December 17, 2020, it marked 7,000 consecutive days of combat operations.[6]
