So he was Airborne Infantry.
Wow, I'm impressed.
I was just a Green Beret on a Special Forces A-team.
My list of schools is pretty long. I noticed he had no combat duty so I doubt he got a CIB.
I guess he thinks helping CID investigate a murder is impressive.
Nah.
Doesn't quite stack up to Desert Storm service or Somalia 93', both combat deployments.
And the Ranger course is held at Ft Benning, not Korea.
I thanked you for your service for what it was worth. You did not there was joint ROK-American Ranger school in Korea? Slack on your part, trooper. Tell me, young slick, on anything I did not answer correctly. Don't worry, I will correct you where you answer wrongly. Shape up.
Jake what you said about your training does not match up with ranger history
RANGER TRAINING BRIGADE UNITED STATES ARMY INFANTRY SCHOOL FORT BENNING, GEORGIA
JULY 2006
Following Vietnam, recognizing the need for a highly trained and highly mobile reaction force, the Army Chief of Staff,
General Abrams directed the activation of the first battalion-sized Ranger units since World War II, the 1st and 2nd Battalions
(Ranger), 75th Infantry. The 1st Battalion was trained at Fort Benning, Georgia and was activated February 8, 1974 at Fort
Stewart, Georgia with the 2nd Battalion being activated on October 3, 1974. The 1st Battalion is now located at Hunter Army
Airfield, Georgia and the 2nd Battalion at Fort Lewis, Washington.
The farsightedness of General Abrams’ decision, as well as the combat effectiveness of the Ranger battalions, was proven
during the United States’ invasion of the island of Grenada in October 1983 to protect American citizens there, and to restore
democracy. As expected, Rangers led the way! During this operation, code named “Urgent Fury,” the Ranger battalions
conducted a daring, low level airborne assault (from 500 feet) to seize the airfield at Point Salines, and then continued
operations for several days to eliminate pockets of resistance, and rescue American medical students.
As a result of the demonstrated effectiveness of the Ranger battalions, the Department of the Army announced in 1984 that it
was increasing the strength of Ranger units to its highest level in 40 years. To do this, it activated another Ranger battalion
as well as a Ranger Regimental Headquarters. These new units, the 3rd Battalion (Ranger), 75th Infantry, and Headquarters
Company (Ranger), 75th Infantry, have increased the Ranger strength of the Army to over 2,000 soldiers actually assigned to
Ranger units. On February 3, 1986, the 75th Infantry was renamed the 75th Ranger Regiment.
On December 20, 1989, the 75th Ranger Regiment was once again called upon to demonstrate its effectiveness in combat.
For the first time since its reorganization in 1984, the Regimental Headquarters and all three Ranger battalions were deployed
on Operation “Just Cause” in Panama. During this operation, the 75th Ranger Regiment spearheaded the assault into Panama
by conducting airborne assaults onto Torrijos/Tocumen Airport and Rio Hato Airfield to facilitate the restoration of democracy in
Panama, and protect the lives of American citizens. Between December 20, 1989 and January 7, 1990, numerous follow-on
missions were performed in Panama by the Regiment.
Early in 1991, elements of the 75th Ranger Regiment deployed to Saudi Arabia in support of Operation Desert Storm.
In August 1993, elements of the 75th Ranger Regiment deployed to Somalia in support of Operation Restore Hope, and
returned November 1993.
In 1994, elements of the 75th Ranger Regiment deployed to Haiti in support of Operation Uphold Democracy.
In 2000 – 2001, elements of the 75th Ranger Regiment deployed to Kosovo in support of Operation Joint Guardian.
Since September 11, 2001, the 75th Ranger Regiment has led the way in the Global War on Terrorism. In October 2001,
elements of the 75th Ranger Regiment deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. In March 2003,
elements of the Regiment deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
The performance of these Rangers significantly contributed to the overall success of these operations and upheld the
Ranger tradition of the past. As in the past, the Regiment stands ready to execute its mission to conduct special operations in
support of the United States’ policies and objectives.
