Airborne Rangers FROM OUR EDITORS
The 75th Rangers are the United States Army's elite shock troops, trained to assault by land, sea, and air to take the most difficult targets, anywhere in the world. But not all Rangers belong to the unique Ranger Regiment. Many of the best officers and noncommisioned officers (NCOs) from all over the U.S. and allied services hone their skills in the Ranger Training Course, then pass these skills on to their units. When the Ranger tab is pinned to the soldier's uniform it is indeed a shining moment. As one sergeant said, "You know you'll be able to do anything, even if it's something you've never done before and know absolutely nothing about. That doesn't matter. You're a Ranger; you can do anything!"
Airborne Rangers is a unique and exciting look inside the 75th Ranger Regiment and the Ranger Training Brigade today, as well as its unique history. Packed with more than 120 color and black-and-white photos, this exciting look at the course takes you through 68 days of ultra-intense training in the desert, in the mountains, and in the jungle.
