Official U.S. Army video about the Ranger Tab
The Ranger Tab is a service school qualification tab of the United States Army, awarded to any soldier who completes Ranger School[1] at the U.S. Army Fort Moore, Georgia. Soldiers who are awarded the Ranger Tab are authorized to wear it for the remainder of their military careers.[1][2] The Ranger Tab is considered the pre-eminent award for soldiers in combat arms branches within the United States Army. It is considered an unwritten rule in the Infantry Branch that a Ranger Tab is required to achieve full career success,[3] with the majority of commissioned and non-commissioned officers serving in battalion and above leadership roles (within brigade combat teams and infantry divisions) holding the award.
