They live on the same base and they train all the time to be ready to go on immediate notice. So they're given order to go, they board the planes and go. I think the majority of the 18 hours time is actual travel time to get there. It probably doesn't take them long at all to be ready to board the planes.
There is no “permanently earning your place in the 75th Ranger Regiment” you can easily get RFSd and you have to attend RASP 2 every time you get promoted past E-5.
@@cm-pr2ys yes, TL to SQD LDR / Section LDR to PSG to 1SG. There is a portion these NCOs must pass IOT serve at the next level. No different if a PL or CO CDR / Staff officer submitted another RASP packet, those officers will have to attend RASP 2 or ILE RASP which is very competitive for combat arms but has plenty of opportunities for those outside combat arms branches.
@@The508ranger idk man it would make more sense to have a formal infantry team leader’s course, then RASP 2, then a formal infantry squad leaders course, a formal infantry platoon sergeant’s course, and a formal infantry operations chief course. Ranger School and repeating RASP 2 doesn’t seem to make all that much sense.

Years back I met a former Army Ranger, who decided to attend and passed BUD/S to become a Navy SeAL. He was a member of 2nd Bn/ 75th Ranger Regiment while serving in Iraq between 2002 and 2004.
@@joshuasmith7369 he could only try out for BUDs if he was of the Dept of the Navy, not as Dept of the Army...so unless he changed his banner, then he's full of shit...there is cross training between SOF, but it is never for one to gain that units title (but to just get a different viewpoint on TTP, and if accepted, then instilled)
Remembering from my old dog days. Loved how there's a fierce competition in the Army. From regular to Airborne to Ranger to SF and everything in between. Like a huge family of sibling rivals. Gets intense sometimes but I sure do miss it. KEEP the military family strong and thank you for your Service past, present and future. Be safe and God bless 🙏
A lot of comments said it best, this is by far one of the best breakdowns of the differences between them, the pipeline and giving honor and respect to both. This was very enjoyable whether someone already knows this information and even better if they don’t. Well done!!
@@necromanteerrante8095 101st utilizes air assault insertions while 82nd parachutes in. Marine sapper vs Army mostly comes down to opportunities, funding and culture.
My favorite video so far. My dad joined the army as a Ranger (actually in the regiment) when he was 17 and and after one enlistment he joined Special Forces and served with them for the next 26 years doing a total of 30 years in special operations. I’m following in his footsteps but I still have 3 years until I’m 18. Anyway thanks for making this video and do you think you can make one on the history of the Green Berets?
Hope you started training in highschool!! Most of the people who went the GB/seal pipeline started training for it when they were 15-16 years old and still in highschool. That way when they get there, their body's aren't breaking down as fast during the training block which means a greater chance to pass
@@sluggak1363 easy. If your mos cross's into the Regiment mos list you can apply for the indoc after your first school ( now rasp formerly recalled rip). Then you'll just do your same job in Regiment. The Regiment has a finite amount of slots and they only keep the best at all times so if you've been in 3 yrs and you start slacking for the RR you can be bumped out and back to regular army because a new younger ranger will take your place. The Regiment has evolved greatly in the past 20 yrs and are considered SF in their own right. They now do their own DA missions as well as attaching to tier1 and GB units as blocking forces to manage enemy qrfs and squirters.
You know...a video that would be cool for currently serving folks, how one could transfer to another branch. The process on how long it takes and what to expect.
The easiest way to understand the differences between SF and RGR is their origins. Both were created during WW2. The Rangers went through the UK Commando course and are US Army Commandos. They stage out of a FOB or other friendly base and deploy into enemy territory engage in a direct action type of mission and return to base. Special Forces were set up by former OSS Jedburgh personnel. They deploy into enemy held territory in small teams like the Jedburgh Teams did, engage in unconventional warfare activities such as organizing, training and equipping local resistance forces then lead them on sabotage & reconnaissance missions and SF stays within enemy controlled territory. SF does not return to a friendly base like the Rangers do to reequip. Rangers are a lethal conventional Commando force while Special Forces are a covert unconventional warfare force. Two totally different mission profiles.
In practice, the 75th has taken on missions that were once the preserve of groups like Delta/CAG (or whatever they're calling themselves today). That's why they've killed / captured more HVTs during GWoT than any other unit in the US military.
@@MG-wk2eh That’s a good example of a Commando type mission. Rangers are based in Allied controlled bases. They are assigned a mission in Axis controlled territory, deploy, infiltrate, execute, then “return”. HVTs have been a Commando/Ranger mission since WW2. Special Forces infiltrate and “remain” clandestinely in Axis controlled territory. They provide situational awareness and targeting Intel for Rangers to successfully execute their missions but remain in a covert role to maintain their capability as the Theater Commander’s eyes, ears and unconventional warfare capability in the denied area. Rangers operate in “conventional” Regimental elements with capable direct action ability. Special Forces ODAs operate in small 11 man A Teams that break up, recruit local guerrilla cells then lead them as an “unconventional” warfare capability. Both work closely together along with other SOF elements as the missions dictates. Tier 1 units operating under JSOC are tasked with other missions often directed by a Presidential Finding.

I’m 17 and I’m planning on going to college, I want to be a Ranger, I don’t really know how to accomplish it and I’ve been working out for awhile now to help prepare so this vid helps a lot
hey, you don't really need to do college to be a ranger, do option 40 (Or 4, I think.) and by the time you finish basic training, or after four months, you'll be in RASP, which is not ranger school, ranger schools gives a tab, which does not make you a ranger, but doing the scroll means you are a ranger after you finish, if you fail rasp, there is a chance you can do it again, it is assured that after six months you can do it again. also, work on cardio, carrying heavy stuff, concetration, (if you have a toy guy or something like a nerf gun, aim it and see if you can hit something far from what you were aiming at,) and dedication, if you have those im sure you can do it. it may take two tries but at least if you fail the first time, you know how it feels and you can't get ready to do it again, failure isn't failure unless you quit.
I just got an option 40 through ait. I didn’t join with one. My advice is yes, workout, but mental fortitude is way more important. As long as you don’t quit you’ll make it through rasp. But are you mentally strong enough to handle it
Two completely different mandates, it really comes down to what you’re looking for regarding your interests, family, life and career. Most think it’s a natural progression for Rangers to seek a “Q” course slot, it’s not! There are several Rangers that would absolutely pass that course and chose to never apply, they want to be Rangers for their careers, vise versa. Bottom line, both of these units are absolutely chock full of dedicated professionals that make shit happen on a daily basis!
Idk where you get people would “destroy” the Q course. Because I have many buddies in the spec ops world including me in the 3rd batt Charlie co and NOBODY “destroys” selection let alone the Q course, a rigorous 18-24 month training pipeline
The most obvious evidence is the fact that both Rangers and GB's are in CAG. Different skillsets is all, but GB's definitely seem to have a more diverse array of jobs.
@@MM-qt8gz Of course, though there are many over the years that never applied that would have most definitely succeeded! Not everyone wants to go SF...
Both Army Rangers and Army Special Forces are badass warriors defending America against all enemies everywhere including terrorists, the Army Special Forces train others to fight for their freedom , unconventional Warfare specialists and Army Rangers lead the way in Recon, direct action HVT missions, and other mission in Special operations

Good video. One correction. Getting your short tab doesn’t lock your slot in regiment. It’s one big difference between SF and ranger regiment. You can be “RFS’d” (released for standards) from regiment regardless of what you’ve accomplished in the past. This means you compete for your spot in regiment every single day. That’s how they perform at their level with junior enlisted and a short pipeline. Getting into regiment is hard. Staying in regiment is a lot harder.
I was at Ft Bragg with the 82nd 1977, we had alot of Special Forces in the 82, almost all of the had Ranger tabs too. It was just after Viet Nam, most of my instructors at jump school, jungle school, pathfinders, jumpmaster school, etc. Were Special Forces Rangers, and they made it realistic and tuff. Best of times.
Excellent as always, these videos are so well put together and well researched. Critically underrated channel- I can't wait to see you grow more! Keep that grind going, and I guarantee you'll hit a million in no time.
If i remember correctly there's a bunch of green berets deployed to the philippines that act as advisors to the local philippine army units hence Tagalog is one of languages mentioned in the vid here
Recommend doing a video of all the supporting elements, intel, coms etc., that support these types of units, covering the MOS and NECs that support expeditionary and special operations units. Few personnel on this site will ever go work in a dedicated SOF role, it's much more likely if they are going into the military and have interest in these types of missions they'll be intel/expeditionary support.
@@bigdaddy411 well not that very different actually. Both are maritime special operations forces. Some similarities are VBSS, maritime interdiction, maritime counter-terrorism, direct action, special reconnaissance etc. But Navy SEALs pipeline is harder.
@@dallasyap3064 they are very different MARSOC and Green Berets are much similar, MARSOC is trying to take on foreign internal defense as their main mission, the same as green berets where as Navy Seals will never do that. Navy Seals hunt down and kill and are the primary unit for maritime ops, MARSOC would rarely get the call to perform maritime ops. MARSOC was recently brought back because the wars in Afghanistan were mainly spec ops guys and the Marime Corps wasn’t doing shit so they brought back MARSOC. The problem with that is every other unit in SOCOM has a primary mission that’s their bread and butter, for MARSOC, they don’t. They weren’t made to fill a specific need so they’re still proving their worth and are not that much similar to SEALS really besides the maritime capabilities.
@_-___-_ you can’t say SEALS are too tier, MARSOC and SEALS have a different mission set so of course their pipelines are different, you’re not going to send a SEAL to do a Raiders mission and vice virsa at the end of the day they’re both extremely effective and elite units who are equally top tier and good at what they do.
@@banardadams8776 they are different but not really in a very big way. MARSOC's capabilities are direct action, foreign internal defense and special reconnaissance. They are also capable in combat diving and trained in maritime operations. Navy SEALs are more focus towards direct action, special reconnaissance, counter-terrorism, amphibious reconnaissance and all maritime operations. MARSOC was established to not just provide FID, but also provide more direct action capability as Force Recons DA are limited.
I did not have to go to all these prep school still I went to ranger school before joining the 1st 75th ranger after that I went to SF Q course and then to a ODA with 5th sfg at Bragg. 11b. Cross as 18c
@@vee_won_it_all delta chooses candidates from rangers or green berets both have solid chances though it’s whoever is mentally ready will have the best chance
@@demzpro1952 oh I didn't know that. I still have some years before I can even think about being either of them I'm 16 so I have a long time because don't you have to be 20 to even try to get on them?
It's been a while since I went through Ranger training, and it was called RIP (Ranger Indoctrination Program - and R.I.P. was a much more fitting acronym) but that came after airborne school as you had to do 3 jumps in RIP, 2 rotary wing and one dead of night fixed wing jump (my final jump from a C-141 before they retired it - thank God!) before going to battalion (3rd batt for me). So the pipeline was Basic (OSUT) > Airborne School > RIP > Ranger Battalion. And RIP started the same day you graduated airborne school. EDIT: And we had black berets - not tan. Really hate that change - should have given leg infantry the tan one.
@@elcohetejpr I was in 1st Batt. RIP Sept. And Oct. 83. RIP interrupted by Grenada as we supported getting Companies loaded with ammo and MREs. I changed the scroll out at Hunter on the commo building from Batt to Regiment and I still have the Batt scroll made out of plywood. I too have a black beret, I feel ya man, that sucked.
Very good fast presentation. For further background folks look up Roger's Rangers, World War II and Korean War Ranger units. The OSS and British SAS, LRDG, and SOE. Detailed study will show what you will have to live up to if you Become a Ranger or Green Beret. Good luck on your journey.
I have knowledge of 8 languages (9 if you count sign language), my last PT test I did was 72 push ups, 80 sit-ups, 20 pull-ups, and a 9:44 2 mile time, just before 11B graduation day from B 2/58 at sandhill Ft. Benning, Ga.
There is very less detail about the ISA. These guys are indeed secretive and really quiet professionals. They are more secretive than Delta Force and the SAC. But ISA basically conducts intelligence-gathering such as SIGINT and surveillance on very HVTs for CAG & DEVGRU prior to their raids. They are very good in what they do. They can also carry out raids by themselves too if have to, then they will be Advanced Force Operations (AFO). But if not then the raids will be executed by CAG or DEVGRU.
Ranger Tab is getting a doctorate. School/education (complete at the end of course). Ranger Scroll is being a surgeon. Practicing physician in the greatest system.
Gib Son I disagree delta is being a surgeon, ranger school is just a course, any one in the army can go to ranger school, and rasp is just an 8 week course after that you still have to prove yourself in the unit or they will send you to an airborne unit which can still be just as tough and some cases more tough if your infantry
@@GH-tp6vu Lol… have you been in both the 75th and in Group? I have. Your observation is rather obtuse. Two totally different missions. 75th has more enemy KIA and captured more HVT’s than any other unit combined. To include CAG/DEV. SF has had successful moments as well. Once again… I know both worlds. Do you?
@Spicy-Nick no I do not and you are correct, the only world I knew is Army SF. Now we worked with the 75th on several operations, I was unimpressed with the troopers but thought the NCOs were excellent. The officers, we'll not so much. Good observation though.
One of the interesting things I found about the rangers when I was in the service from 1986 to 1990 was that that time you could be piered out of the unit if your fellow rangers didn't want you in the unit and of course if you were not physically fit enough .
75th Ranger Regiment still does that. Soldiers there do get released from Ranger Regiment if they are viewed as a liability. Others rotate in and out for promotion.
I had a longer post and realized I shouldn't say what I was going too this video was one of the best ive seen and I promise you dont want to face off with either group and all hell breaks loose when they work together
This probably doesn't apply to most people, but if you are prior service, and got out as an E6, it makes you ineligible for 18X or Option 40. There's only two MOS's to chose from. I talked to two different recruiters and they both told me the same thing. If I hear anything different back I'll update this comment.
Currently a delayed entry enlisted and USMA applicant who wants to go SF someday. This is easily my favorite video on the topic, and I've seen a ton of them. This channel deserves way more attention.
I think that there's NO comparison between Rangers and Green Berrets. Both of OUR BROTHERS in these units are elite and I've a great deal of RESPECT for the two of them. However, please correct me if I'm mistaken but to go to Ranger School You go to basic trainning, then to Fort Benning GA for Your Airborne trainning, after You complete these trainning and some other requirements then You go trough Selection and Ranger trainning earning the "Khaki" beret used only by Rangers. For becoming a Green Beret You go trough basic trainning, School of Infantry, Airborne School and even complete the Ranger trainning amoung other things just to be considered for Green Beret selection process once accepted it'll take aproximately 1 yr of trainning before earning the Green Beret. After they're already Serving in a Green Beret unit or Command then You can apply to the Delta selection process,(including Navy Seals, Air Force SOF, Marine Force Recon or Marine Raider).Maybe my comment will make some BROTHERS uncomfortable but the important thing is that at the end of the day WE're all BROTHERS and will watch each others back at any cost. It doesn't matter if an individual is a cook in our Armed Forces, they're equally important because each and every single one of our Servicemembers has a different task to contribute in OUR COUNTRY'S Military goals. At the end of the day WE've a common goal as BROTHERS, "To PROTECT and DEFEND the Constitution of The U.S. against all enemies Foreign and Domestic" and also "to guard OUR way of life". When any American unit needs support due to the presence of the "Infamous Murphy's Law", Whomever is the closest unit will provide the support needed to get our BROTHERS back safely, it has happened that if any kind of aircraft,(Fighter, Bomber, Helicopter or Turbo Prop), goes down and the rescue Forces are tied down in other places far from where the event has taken place, Grunts are sent in to search and secure the area so the Air Force SAR PJ's can evacuate the pilot or the crew. In times like these the prioriy is to get back our BROTHERS at any cost, even at the cost of OUR lives so they can return safely to their families, "To do a good job You've to believe in what You're doing in order to do it right". To all my BROTHERS who have SERVED or are currently SERVING: Thank You for Your SERVICE BROTHERS!. Keep up the good job!. SEMPER FI!.
I think the green berets are the most impressive. The amount of knowledge they have to know to qualify, their unique role, they specialize in unconventional warfare more so than others, Sgt rank is required to be fully qualified (from what I've heard), etc.
If you're coming off the street, you can be any rank. If below E-5, you'll receive a bump in rank to Sgt once you complete the !-Course. The age and rank requirements are less for the 2 National Guard units.
I don’t know where people get their information from but seems none of these people are either knowledgeable or are in the military. You have to be at least a E4 in order to go to SFAS. If you make it all the way through all the training, you’ll automatically hit E5. So NO you don’t have to be a sergeant to get accepted. Age doesn’t matter but the older you are in maturity helps to be selected.
You forgot to mention the fact that the National Guard SF groups are spread between around 12+ states including California, Florida, Texas, North Carolina, Mississippi, etc. the locations mentioned are the locations for the 19th and 20th group’s headquarters elements. 19th Group is mostly Midwest and west coast states while 20th Group is mostly east coast, north eastern and southern states. For example, 20th Group has the HQ and 1st Battalion in Alabama, while 3rd battalion is in Florida, to name a few.
I fucking love this channel... Do CCT's vs TACP. Alot of people seem to think they are very similar or take on the same missions or get attached to the same units. That's so far from the truth.
I am going infantry in the army I had 3 option 40 contracts but they weren’t for what I wanted which was infantry you can volunteer for RASP at OSUT tho I looked into this extensively as well as had 3 recruiters tell me it’s true make sure you have the 105 GT score and get an airborne physical at MEPS. RLTW💯
Well sorry to break it to you but your recruiters lied. The only way a guarantee shot is the option 40. Literally anyone can volunteer for rasp during AIT/OSUT. It’s all up to your actual unit once you get into big army to decide if they want to let you go or not. Recruiters lie all the time and tell you what you want to hear so you’ll join and they meet their quotas. If I were you, back out of the contract if you haven’t gone to meps yet to officially sign everything and get that option 40 contract. The recruiters don’t get their number for you until you ship on your that plane. It’s your life/ your contract. Don’t let them force you into anything you don’t want or lie. I suggest you do some more “research” like you said and ask actual people who are still in the military.
@@dwaynecarter3080 infantry doesn’t get option 40 contracts tho because the army doesn’t need to give out incentives to get people to fill up infantry seats during your last week of OSUT/AIT the 75th ranger recruiter will go and brief the whole class on who they are and what they do the rangers would rather recruit privates who are already in the military than civilians this comes from emails responses from the rangers I asked them directly and any recruiter won’t wait more than a month or two max to see if an option 40 contacts popped up your wasting everyone’s time on an option not an MOS trust me I waited two months to see if I could get op40 but they said they couldn’t keep my profile open just because I was waiting on an option it’s usually the less popular jobs that get op40 tho as those other op 40 contracts that showed up for me where for none combative roles
@@josealvarado-sy4cg your recruiters lied to you. I’ve been in and still am in the army for over 4 years now. Anyone can get an option 40 contract unless you’re 18D, 13B and just a few other mos. yeah the rangers can come recruit you but it’s up to your unit to allow you to go once you get assigned. While you’re in ait, you do not belong to a unit, you’re in tradoc
I served in the Army in the 80s thru the 90s, I was combat arms & sniper. I trained along side & witnessed both SF & Rangers. From what I seen the rangers were in better shape, more hard charging, younger and tended to be better at hand to hand fighting. The Green berets seem to be lazy know it alls who were smart, older, higher ranking and better at conducting military operations and masters at using various weapons.During war games since I was a sniper I would go up against both. I could target & kill rangers but not green berets as easy. These exercises were called [Calfax] Combine Arms Live Fire Exercises
I love how you didn’t say one is better than the other ( I haven’t seen the full video ) but when it comes to that amount of training they aren’t better they’re both bad ass soldiers who kick ass .
Civilian here. After having watched several of these videos it would appear that of all the military branches and groups, special forces/Green Berets seems to have the greatest width and depth of skill sets. 75th Rangers seem similar to Marine Raiders. Both excel at hard hitting direct action as well as CQB. SF seem to do everything well. The word “psychological” comes up often in describing SF various MOS. Interesting.
@@matthewfales5403 From what I can gather army rangers are one thing and members of the 75th Ranger Regiment are another. I was referring to the 75th Ranger Regiment, which I understand is a special operations group and marine recon is not a special operations group.
I seem to remember the in the landings in Italy .., something like 750 rangers (seems like a lot?) set out behind Axis lines and found a Panzer div base… , cleaned it up..? I’m sure I got it wrong.., but it was like 3-4000 of the panzer unit they terminated..?
General Discharge. Ive been watching your videos, and everyone I have seen, have been great, maybe because I am a ex Army vet, and I have always been intrested in all the branches,of the US military Special Operations Forces. But while I was in the Army, I met afew people that were in the Air Force, going threw there pipelines, that were going out for Pjs,and 2 CCTs. But I was really interested in the CCTs. Did you make a video about them, or the Air Force SOFs at all. I no they got red of the CWTs, and changed them 2, SRs units. But if you can let me know if u have made any AFSOF videos, I would really appreciate it, thanks.
Let's have them go through AIrborne School and possibly get injured before going through RASP. I'm glad they switched it up, some good brothers lost their contract after an injury while in AIrborne School.
They didn't switch it up because of injuries, but rather the number of people dropping their slot to RASP after graduating airborne school. Now only those who truly want to be there will sign up for it instead of guys wasting slots just to get a slot for airborne school.
General Discharge (GD): Thank You Very Much for all of Your Military Service and Videos.

This 52 Year Old Prior Service USMC and US Army Veteran appreciates this very much.....!!🇺🇸🗽🦅
Pre SFAS as SOCOM came online (early 80's), about a third of every Q course class came out of the then 2 ranger bats. Two totally different fields, jobs, and mindsets. Then it was something of a natural progession. Rangers ground hard in battalion for a couple years and some came to SF. You had to be an NCO or promotible E-4, one of only 5 hard skill MOS's to go to the Q course then. You want to be a professional soldier/hard core light infantry strike force kinda guy go Ranger. You want to do some other things, go SF now that it's an option to come staight off the street into SF. You see yourself doing this for a life, it would serve you well to go Ranger first, then SF....still not enough? Try "selection" after you have one or both Ranger or SF under your belt.
Its kinda hard for me to decide, because Gb: less action Gb: harder training, and more intelligent Gb: geopolitical 75th Ranger: more action, less training And i wanna be in action, which should i choose??? (Suggestions)
If youre just getting into the army you should get a option 40 contract but if you already have some time in the military or you're older you should go for Green Berets
Rangers are the super elite Airborne and Light Infantry in equivalent of the original British Army Commandos of WWII to which they have trained by originally and have conducted ever since. Special Forces are the very elite to conduct small unit operations and clandestine operations to infiltrate enemy occupied territory as originally designed back in WWII to gain intelligence and organize resistance groups behind enemy lines and to advise and lead local forces to fight. on the concept of the British SOE (Special Operative Executives) and the OSS (Operational Special Service) . All members are fluent in the language and cultural nature of the countries that they are operating in and to conduct offensive operations cohesively. Rangers are the hammer and Special Forces are the cloak and dagger. Their basis goes back to the start of WWII. America was learning the art of Special Operations from the British who were utilizing Army and Marine Commandos, Paratroopers, and SOE. For me I was just an infantryman and later became a Paratrooper and nothing else. Some of my friends became more elite to become Rangers and Special Forces soldiers. Their foundation was first becoming first as Paratroopers and doors have opened to them. For me I was happy where I was at back then. I was happy to be just a Paratrooper and an Infantryman. Blessed to my Brothers who went on beyond.
You forgot to mention that when rangers go to socm they do the short course and the green berets do the long course. Edit: i should have watched the whole video before i said that lmao

What unit was arnies team in predator movie? Green beret or rangers? Delta?
I was 37F, Special Operations Airborne Psyops, went to Ranger School, assigned to 3rd Battalion SF in Panama because physical wounds heal.
My favorite video so far. My dad joined the army as a Ranger (actually in the regiment) when he was 17 and and after one enlistment he joined Special Forces and served with them for the next 26 years doing a total of 30 years in special operations. I’m following in his footsteps but I still have 3 years until I’m 18. Anyway thanks for making this video and do you think you can make one on the history of the Green Berets?
Did he mention what he thought about the differences in-between the two professions??
Hope you started training in highschool!!
Most of the people who went the GB/seal pipeline started training for it when they were 15-16 years old and still in highschool. That way when they get there, their body's aren't breaking down as fast during the training block which means a greater chance to pass
Did he ever talk about the differences in lifestyle in both? How different the atmosphere was?
How he join AS a ranger
@@sluggak1363 easy. If your mos cross's into the Regiment mos list you can apply for the indoc after your first school ( now rasp formerly recalled rip). Then you'll just do your same job in Regiment.
The Regiment has a finite amount of slots and they only keep the best at all times so if you've been in 3 yrs and you start slacking for the RR you can be bumped out and back to regular army because a new younger ranger will take your place.
The Regiment has evolved greatly in the past 20 yrs and are considered SF in their own right. They now do their own DA missions as well as attaching to tier1 and GB units as blocking forces to manage enemy qrfs and squirters.
You know...a video that would be cool for currently serving folks, how one could transfer to another branch. The process on how long it takes and what to expect.
Video: "No... It doesn't make them a Ranger. They just simply earned the tab."
Me: "Fucking Thank you!.... Fucking... Thank YOU!"
I'm with you unless your tabbed and scrolled u are not a Ranger u just passed class basically but didn't graduate in layman's terms
The easiest way to understand the differences between SF and RGR is their origins. Both were created during WW2. The Rangers went through the UK Commando course and are US Army Commandos. They stage out of a FOB or other friendly base and deploy into enemy territory engage in a direct action type of mission and return to base. Special Forces were set up by former OSS Jedburgh personnel. They deploy into enemy held territory in small teams like the Jedburgh Teams did, engage in unconventional warfare activities such as organizing, training and equipping local resistance forces then lead them on sabotage & reconnaissance missions and SF stays within enemy controlled territory. SF does not return to a friendly base like the Rangers do to reequip. Rangers are a lethal conventional Commando force while Special Forces are a covert unconventional warfare force. Two totally different mission profiles.
In practice, the 75th has taken on missions that were once the preserve of groups like Delta/CAG (or whatever they're calling themselves today). That's why they've killed / captured more HVTs during GWoT than any other unit in the US military.
@@MG-wk2eh That’s a good example of a Commando type mission. Rangers are based in Allied controlled bases. They are assigned a mission in Axis controlled territory, deploy, infiltrate, execute, then “return”. HVTs have been a Commando/Ranger mission since WW2. Special Forces infiltrate and “remain” clandestinely in Axis controlled territory. They provide situational awareness and targeting Intel for Rangers to successfully execute their missions but remain in a covert role to maintain their capability as the Theater Commander’s eyes, ears and unconventional warfare capability in the denied area. Rangers operate in “conventional” Regimental elements with capable direct action ability. Special Forces ODAs operate in small 11 man A Teams that break up, recruit local guerrilla cells then lead them as an “unconventional” warfare capability. Both work closely together along with other SOF elements as the missions dictates. Tier 1 units operating under JSOC are tasked with other missions often directed by a Presidential Finding.

I’m 17 and I’m planning on going to college, I want to be a Ranger, I don’t really know how to accomplish it and I’ve been working out for awhile now to help prepare so this vid helps a lot
hey, you don't really need to do college to be a ranger, do option 40 (Or 4, I think.) and by the time you finish basic training, or after four months, you'll be in RASP, which is not ranger school, ranger schools gives a tab, which does not make you a ranger, but doing the scroll means you are a ranger after you finish, if you fail rasp, there is a chance you can do it again, it is assured that after six months you can do it again. also, work on cardio, carrying heavy stuff, concetration, (if you have a toy guy or something like a nerf gun, aim it and see if you can hit something far from what you were aiming at,) and dedication, if you have those im sure you can do it. it may take two tries but at least if you fail the first time, you know how it feels and you can't get ready to do it again, failure isn't failure unless you quit.
I just got an option 40 through ait. I didn’t join with one. My advice is yes, workout, but mental fortitude is way more important. As long as you don’t quit you’ll make it through rasp. But are you mentally strong enough to handle it
2 different missions , both the best at what they do . Both badass.
Two completely different mandates, it really comes down to what you’re looking for regarding your interests, family, life and career. Most think it’s a natural progression for Rangers to seek a “Q” course slot, it’s not! There are several Rangers that would absolutely pass that course and chose to never apply, they want to be Rangers for their careers, vise versa. Bottom line, both of these units are absolutely chock full of dedicated professionals that make shit happen on a daily basis!
Idk where you get people would “destroy” the Q course. Because I have many buddies in the spec ops world including me in the 3rd batt Charlie co and NOBODY “destroys” selection let alone the Q course, a rigorous 18-24 month training pipeline
@@dwaynecarter3080 I agree, should of used a different word, though it’s a misconception by many inside and outside the services.
The most obvious evidence is the fact that both Rangers and GB's are in CAG. Different skillsets is all, but GB's definitely seem to have a more diverse array of jobs.
Lol there are a lot of rangers that failed selection and the q course. Simmer down
@@MM-qt8gz Of course, though there are many over the years that never applied that would have most definitely succeeded! Not everyone wants to go SF...

@@Hunter-iz4jp bullshit. You know nothing. I deployed all over Iraq and Afghanistan, never once did "outer cordon".
Good video. One correction. Getting your short tab doesn’t lock your slot in regiment. It’s one big difference between SF and ranger regiment. You can be “RFS’d” (released for standards) from regiment regardless of what you’ve accomplished in the past. This means you compete for your spot in regiment every single day. That’s how they perform at their level with junior enlisted and a short pipeline. Getting into regiment is hard. Staying in regiment is a lot harder.
I was at Ft Bragg with the 82nd 1977, we had alot of Special Forces in the 82, almost all of the had Ranger tabs too. It was just after Viet Nam, most of my instructors at jump school, jungle school, pathfinders, jumpmaster school, etc. Were Special Forces Rangers, and they made it realistic and tuff. Best of times.
It’s a beautiful sight. When all the military units do their part.
Excellent as always, these videos are so well put together and well researched. Critically underrated channel- I can't wait to see you grow more! Keep that grind going, and I guarantee you'll hit a million in no time.
If i remember correctly there's a bunch of green berets deployed to the philippines that act as advisors to the local philippine army units hence Tagalog is one of languages mentioned in the vid here

Recommend doing a video of all the supporting elements, intel, coms etc., that support these types of units, covering the MOS and NECs that support expeditionary and special operations units. Few personnel on this site will ever go work in a dedicated SOF role, it's much more likely if they are going into the military and have interest in these types of missions they'll be intel/expeditionary support.
That's an excellent suggestion and point! We will look into diving into that area, thank you!

Can you please do a video of MARSOC vs SEALs
Yes please!!! I don't know how they're different in any way.
@@bigdaddy411 well not that very different actually. Both are maritime special operations forces. Some similarities are VBSS, maritime interdiction, maritime counter-terrorism, direct action, special reconnaissance etc. But Navy SEALs pipeline is harder.
@@dallasyap3064 they are very different MARSOC and Green Berets are much similar, MARSOC is trying to take on foreign internal defense as their main mission, the same as green berets where as Navy Seals will never do that. Navy Seals hunt down and kill and are the primary unit for maritime ops, MARSOC would rarely get the call to perform maritime ops. MARSOC was recently brought back because the wars in Afghanistan were mainly spec ops guys and the Marime Corps wasn’t doing shit so they brought back MARSOC. The problem with that is every other unit in SOCOM has a primary mission that’s their bread and butter, for MARSOC, they don’t. They weren’t made to fill a specific need so they’re still proving their worth and are not that much similar to SEALS really besides the maritime capabilities.
@_-___-_ you can’t say SEALS are too tier, MARSOC and SEALS have a different mission set so of course their pipelines are different, you’re not going to send a SEAL to do a Raiders mission and vice virsa at the end of the day they’re both extremely effective and elite units who are equally top tier and good at what they do.
@@banardadams8776 they are different but not really in a very big way. MARSOC's capabilities are direct action, foreign internal defense and special reconnaissance. They are also capable in combat diving and trained in maritime operations. Navy SEALs are more focus towards direct action, special reconnaissance, counter-terrorism, amphibious reconnaissance and all maritime operations. MARSOC was established to not just provide FID, but also provide more direct action capability as Force Recons DA are limited.

It's been a while since I went through Ranger training, and it was called RIP (Ranger Indoctrination Program - and R.I.P. was a much more fitting acronym) but that came after airborne school as you had to do 3 jumps in RIP, 2 rotary wing and one dead of night fixed wing jump (my final jump from a C-141 before they retired it - thank God!) before going to battalion (3rd batt for me).
So the pipeline was Basic (OSUT) > Airborne School > RIP > Ranger Battalion. And RIP started the same day you graduated airborne school.
EDIT: And we had black berets - not tan. Really hate that change - should have given leg infantry the tan one.
I agree they should never change it from the black

There is very less detail about the ISA. These guys are indeed secretive and really quiet professionals. They are more secretive than Delta Force and the SAC. But ISA basically conducts intelligence-gathering such as SIGINT and surveillance on very HVTs for CAG & DEVGRU prior to their raids. They are very good in what they do. They can also carry out raids by themselves too if have to, then they will be Advanced Force Operations (AFO). But if not then the raids will be executed by CAG or DEVGRU.

Ranger Tab is getting a doctorate. School/education (complete at the end of course).
Ranger Scroll is being a surgeon. Practicing physician in the greatest system.
Gib Son I disagree delta is being a surgeon, ranger school is just a course, any one in the army can go to ranger school, and rasp is just an 8 week course after that you still have to prove yourself in the unit or they will send you to an airborne unit which can still be just as tough and some cases more tough if your infantry

@@Spicy-Nick oh yea....you were recurited out of the 75th into????? I was in the 5th SFG.......
One of the interesting things I found about the rangers when I was in the service from 1986 to 1990 was that that time you could be piered out of the unit if your fellow rangers didn't want you in the unit and of course if you were not physically fit enough .
75th Ranger Regiment still does that. Soldiers there do get released from Ranger Regiment if they are viewed as a liability. Others rotate in and out for promotion.
Really good quality videos keep posting this will be the most formal informative TH-cam channel ever
I had a longer post and realized I shouldn't say what I was going too this video was one of the best ive seen and I promise you dont want to face off with either group and all hell breaks loose when they work together
This probably doesn't apply to most people, but if you are prior service, and got out as an E6, it makes you ineligible for 18X or Option 40. There's only two MOS's to chose from. I talked to two different recruiters and they both told me the same thing. If I hear anything different back I'll update this comment.
What are the two MOS to choose from?
And why would they make a rule like that?
Thats not true man
You need to talk to a special forces recruiter, not a regular one.
I did both. They're different missions. But either one will mess up your day if you mess with us.

I think that there's NO comparison between Rangers and Green Berrets. Both of OUR BROTHERS in these units are elite and I've a great deal of RESPECT for the two of them. However, please correct me if I'm mistaken but to go to Ranger School You go to basic trainning, then to Fort Benning GA for Your Airborne trainning, after You complete these trainning and some other requirements then You go trough Selection and Ranger trainning earning the "Khaki" beret used only by Rangers. For becoming a Green Beret You go trough basic trainning, School of Infantry, Airborne School and even complete the Ranger trainning amoung other things just to be considered for Green Beret selection process once accepted it'll take aproximately 1 yr of trainning before earning the Green Beret. After they're already Serving in a Green Beret unit or Command then You can apply to the Delta selection process,(including Navy Seals, Air Force SOF, Marine Force Recon or Marine Raider).Maybe my comment will make some BROTHERS uncomfortable but the important thing is that at the end of the day WE're all BROTHERS and will watch each others back at any cost. It doesn't matter if an individual is a cook in our Armed Forces, they're equally important because each and every single one of our Servicemembers has a different task to contribute in OUR COUNTRY'S Military goals. At the end of the day WE've a common goal as BROTHERS, "To PROTECT and DEFEND the Constitution of The U.S. against all enemies Foreign and Domestic" and also "to guard OUR way of life". When any American unit needs support due to the presence of the "Infamous Murphy's Law", Whomever is the closest unit will provide the support needed to get our BROTHERS back safely, it has happened that if any kind of aircraft,(Fighter, Bomber, Helicopter or Turbo Prop), goes down and the rescue Forces are tied down in other places far from where the event has taken place, Grunts are sent in to search and secure the area so the Air Force SAR PJ's can evacuate the pilot or the crew. In times like these the prioriy is to get back our BROTHERS at any cost, even at the cost of OUR lives so they can return safely to their families, "To do a good job You've to believe in what You're doing in order to do it right". To all my BROTHERS who have SERVED or are currently SERVING: Thank You for Your SERVICE BROTHERS!.
Keep up the good job!.
SEMPER FI!.
I think the green berets are the most impressive. The amount of knowledge they have to know to qualify, their unique role, they specialize in unconventional warfare more so than others, Sgt rank is required to be fully qualified (from what I've heard), etc.
So u can’t be SF unless ur 21 and a Sgt.???
@@BillyCray Based on another video I watched they stated you have to be at least a Sgt to fully qualify. Until then you could be training for years.
If you're coming off the street, you can be any rank. If below E-5, you'll receive a bump in rank to Sgt once you complete the !-Course. The age and rank requirements are less for the 2 National Guard units.
It’s almost the same way with Marine Raiders you have to be at least a E-4 Cpl or a E-5 Sgt to qualify for A&S to get into the schools for Raiders
I don’t know where people get their information from but seems none of these people are either knowledgeable or are in the military. You have to be at least a E4 in order to go to SFAS. If you make it all the way through all the training, you’ll automatically hit E5. So NO you don’t have to be a sergeant to get accepted. Age doesn’t matter but the older you are in maturity helps to be selected.
You forgot to mention the fact that the National Guard SF groups are spread between around 12+ states including California, Florida, Texas, North Carolina, Mississippi, etc. the locations mentioned are the locations for the 19th and 20th group’s headquarters elements. 19th Group is mostly Midwest and west coast states while 20th Group is mostly east coast, north eastern and southern states. For example, 20th Group has the HQ and 1st Battalion in Alabama, while 3rd battalion is in Florida, to name a few.
I fucking love this channel... Do CCT's vs TACP. Alot of people seem to think they are very similar or take on the same missions or get attached to the same units. That's so far from the truth.
I am going infantry in the army I had 3 option 40 contracts but they weren’t for what I wanted which was infantry you can volunteer for RASP at OSUT tho I looked into this extensively as well as had 3 recruiters tell me it’s true make sure you have the 105 GT score and get an airborne physical at MEPS. RLTW💯
Well sorry to break it to you but your recruiters lied. The only way a guarantee shot is the option 40. Literally anyone can volunteer for rasp during AIT/OSUT. It’s all up to your actual unit once you get into big army to decide if they want to let you go or not. Recruiters lie all the time and tell you what you want to hear so you’ll join and they meet their quotas. If I were you, back out of the contract if you haven’t gone to meps yet to officially sign everything and get that option 40 contract. The recruiters don’t get their number for you until you ship on your that plane. It’s your life/ your contract. Don’t let them force you into anything you don’t want or lie. I suggest you do some more “research” like you said and ask actual people who are still in the military.
@@dwaynecarter3080 infantry doesn’t get option 40 contracts tho because the army doesn’t need to give out incentives to get people to fill up infantry seats during your last week of OSUT/AIT the 75th ranger recruiter will go and brief the whole class on who they are and what they do the rangers would rather recruit privates who are already in the military than civilians this comes from emails responses from the rangers I asked them directly and any recruiter won’t wait more than a month or two max to see if an option 40 contacts popped up your wasting everyone’s time on an option not an MOS trust me I waited two months to see if I could get op40 but they said they couldn’t keep my profile open just because I was waiting on an option it’s usually the less popular jobs that get op40 tho as those other op 40 contracts that showed up for me where for none combative roles

Gramps was apart of the 75th ranger regiment.
I served in the Army in the 80s thru the 90s, I was combat arms & sniper. I trained along side & witnessed both SF & Rangers. From what I seen the rangers were in better shape, more hard charging, younger and tended to be better at hand to hand fighting. The Green berets seem to be lazy know it alls who were smart, older, higher ranking and better at conducting military operations and masters at using various weapons.During war games since I was a sniper I would go up against both. I could target & kill rangers but not green berets as easy. These exercises were called [Calfax] Combine Arms Live Fire Exercises
Damn, your grammar sucks! I hope you got out at least as a private 1st class! 😂
Interesting. When you say lazy. Did the green berets work out less?
@jbird4165 I just think since they tended to be all older higher ranking guys they weren't as in shape as guys out of a ranger battalion
I love how you didn’t say one is better than the other ( I haven’t seen the full video ) but when it comes to that amount of training they aren’t better they’re both bad ass soldiers who kick ass .
Civilian here. After having watched several of these videos it would appear that of all the military branches and groups, special forces/Green Berets seems to have the greatest width and depth of skill sets.
75th Rangers seem similar to Marine Raiders. Both excel at hard hitting direct action as well as CQB.
SF seem to do everything well. The word “psychological” comes up often in describing SF various MOS. Interesting.
Green berets are what you think about when the military overthrows a foreign government
75th reg is like a rookie delta force i guess
Rangers are equivalent to recon, not marsoc .

Happy 4th of July
Let's have them go through AIrborne School and possibly get injured before going through RASP. I'm glad they switched it up, some good brothers lost their contract after an injury while in AIrborne School.
They didn't switch it up because of injuries, but rather the number of people dropping their slot to RASP after graduating airborne school. Now only those who truly want to be there will sign up for it instead of guys wasting slots just to get a slot for airborne school.
would love to see a video on the green beret cif teams
Personally I think you should have to serve some time in RA before going to SFAS. However there are a LOT of guys who went 18X and were phenomenal.
Darby's Pathfinders are the Men I'd follow any time. Godspeed
SF is open to a bit more schools than listed. Whole video is pretty spot on though.
The Green Berets and Delta are my favorite Spec Ops, and Army Rangers are the best light infantry unit in the world no doubt.
Rangers are SOF too friendo
I was a tabbed and scrolled Ranger and some of us are Special Forces as well
SO excellent and informative. You men do outstanding work.
If y'all want a more in depth SF pipeline explanation, look up Zack Hughes on youtube.
Thank you for your service. Watch your. Be nice to one another. Be safe out there people. Love to all
I was in the 82nd Airborne at Fr. Bragg and I feel like a dweeb after seeing this
My brother was 1/75. I was in 7thSFG.
watch us drink at the bar together, and you'll find out the difference in a hurry🤣
Rangers lead the way!❤❤
@@tedfio1tedfio1 until a point, and then have to join other organizations
And Green Berets point them in the right direction!
Amen Bro
@@tedfio1tedfio1 75th Ranger regiment the number one.🙂
Upper age limitations are the silliest thing. Luckily over here in the UK they've made it much more flexible.
There are waivers for everything…
19th group in California and Texas as well
General Discharge (GD): Thank You Very Much for all of Your Military Service and Videos. If You ever see this Comment, could You All, Please and Thank You, do a "Special Edition" 1 Hour Video covering Special Forces( Green Berets), Special Operations Forces ( MARSOC Raider Regiment, Navy SEALs, Army Rangers), Special Operations Capable ( MEU( SOC) ), and, Special Purpose Forces ( Special Purpose MAGTF, Coast Guard MSRT). This 52 Year Old Prior Service USMC and US Army Veteran appreciates this very much.....!!🇺🇸🗽🦅
19th and 20th groups have more states that they can be stationed at other than what’s listed.
Yes they have more battalions and detachments stationed in other states too.
My cousin was 19th SF in Pueblo. Great video BTW. Ty
I got an option 40 and leave on the 11th. Super excited and also terrified.
When the narrator tells me I’m awesome 😎
An "extended family" member was a Green Beret for 25 years, they're very capable.
Pre SFAS as SOCOM came online (early 80's), about a third of every Q course class came out of the then 2 ranger bats. Two totally different fields, jobs, and mindsets. Then it was something of a natural progession. Rangers ground hard in battalion for a couple years and some came to SF. You had to be an NCO or promotible E-4, one of only 5 hard skill MOS's to go to the Q course then. You want to be a professional soldier/hard core light infantry strike force kinda guy go Ranger. You want to do some other things, go SF now that it's an option to come staight off the street into SF. You see yourself doing this for a life, it would serve you well to go Ranger first, then SF....still not enough? Try "selection" after you have one or both Ranger or SF under your belt.
Rangers aren't a stepping stone for fucking SF stop treating them like one
It's not hard to get into the. Regiment, Its HARD TO STAY IN THE REGIMENT! HOOAH!
Its kinda hard for me to decide, because
Gb: less action
Gb: harder training, and more intelligent
Gb: geopolitical
75th Ranger: more action, less training
And i wanna be in action, which should i choose??? (Suggestions)
RASP will be brutal but if you want first hand combat quickly, go 75th.
Go ranger for 4 years, then go green beret.
75th
If youre just getting into the army you should get a option 40 contract but if you already have some time in the military or you're older you should go for Green Berets
Listen to Steve
SUPER... ❤❤❤
Jesus loves y’all ❤
The Fort Benning thing killed me 🤣🤣
Rangers are the super elite Airborne and Light Infantry in equivalent of the original British Army Commandos of WWII to which they have trained by originally and have conducted ever since. Special Forces are the very elite to conduct small unit operations and clandestine operations to infiltrate enemy occupied territory as originally designed back in WWII to gain intelligence and organize resistance groups behind enemy lines and to advise and lead local forces to fight. on the concept of the British SOE (Special Operative Executives) and the OSS (Operational Special Service) . All members are fluent in the language and cultural nature of the countries that they are operating in and to conduct offensive operations cohesively. Rangers are the hammer and Special Forces are the cloak and dagger. Their basis goes back to the start of WWII. America was learning the art of Special Operations from the British who were utilizing Army and Marine Commandos, Paratroopers, and SOE. For me I was just an infantryman and later became a Paratrooper and nothing else. Some of my friends became more elite to become Rangers and Special Forces soldiers. Their foundation was first becoming first as Paratroopers and doors have opened to them. For me I was happy where I was at back then. I was happy to be just a Paratrooper and an Infantryman. Blessed to my Brothers who went on beyond.
You don't know shit. Fucking retard
@@MM-qt8gz Choke on a 🐓!!

You forgot to mention that when rangers go to socm they do the short course and the green berets do the long course.
