Soldiers of the 75th Ranger Regiment (35 photos and story)

Posted: 01 Sep 2015 01:43 PM PDT

The 75th Ranger Regiment is the US Army's premier airborne light infantry unit.  Specializing in raids and airfield seizures, the Regiment is one of very few units that has been constantly deployed since 9/11, with each Ranger battalion having rotated into a combat zone in the neighborhood of fifteen times each.    After completing Basic Training, Advanced Individual Training, and Airborne School, potential Rangers are carefully evaluated in the Ranger Assessment and Selection Program, or RASP.  RASP identifies which soldiers have the mental fortitude and physical toughness required to serve as a member of this elite unit.  Additionally, RASP provides training to these new recruits in critical Ranger tasks.  Upon graduation of RASP, new Rangers will most likely be assigned to 1st, 2nd, or 3rd Ranger Battalion.  Regimental Headquarters and the Regimental Support Battalion are also co-located at Ft. Benning with 3rd Battalion.

( The Battle of Shiloh painting)    At the Battle of Shiloh a strange phenomenon took place which came be known as Angel's Glow...    As you may know, the Battle of Shiloh was a very bloody battle. With men desperately contesting the battle non-stop from dawn to dusk, the wounded and dying were left to find their own help. On top of that, neither army's medical services were prepared to deal with this level of carnage. As a result, many men were left lying in the field for days.
