MISSION
A LETHAL, HIGHLY TRAINED, EXPERIENCED FORCE.
Our national defense requires the 75th Ranger Regiment to execute any special operations or light infantry mission requiring a mature, competent, highly disciplined, and lethal force to ensure the precise application of combat power in politically sensitive environments. To achieve this, the Regiment must be extremely proficient in complex operations during both day and night, in all weather conditions and across all terrain. The Ranger Regiment is also the world’s premier light infantry fighting force, specializing in raids and assault missions deep inside enemy held territory. An expert in short-notice combat deployments, the Ranger Regiment is a rapidly deployable strike force and is the largest special operations combat element in the U.S. Army. The Regiment uses specialized equipment, operational techniques, and multiple modes of infiltration to capture or destroy hostile forces.
Direct Action
Direct action missions are designed to seize, destroy, or capture enemy facilities or materials. Rangers are trained and equipped to deliver maximum surprise and shock to opponents.
Airfield Seizure
The Ranger Regiment is the Nation's premier choice for forced entry operations. The Ranger Regiment's capability to conduct airborne operations into hostile territory is strategically essential to our offensive military power and reach.
Special Reconnaissance
These intelligence gathering activities are designed to monitor and assess, find and fix hostile forces for future operations or strategic decision making.
Personnel Recovery
Rangers are trained to evacuate or rescue civilians and prisoners of war, or capture designated enemy personnel in politically sensitive areas, hostile terrain, or enemy held territory.
Clandestine Insertion
To place maximum surprise and shock on the enemy, the Ranger Regiment uses special techniques and equipment to infiltrate enemy territory, seize the initiative, and achieve surprise over hostile forces.
Sensitive SITE Exploitation
Leveraging their combination of cutting edge equipment and lethal, responsive strike forces, the Regiment collects and analyzes information gathered on missions to conduct rapid follow-on operations that keep aggressors off-balance and unable to react.
