Ref “If they passed selection, put them in the Regiment. They wanted it, they should get it.”
Having a Ranger Tab is a bare minimum qualification for an officer to get into the Ranger Regiment. I don’t know the exact percentages/numbers, but probably only about 2 to 5% of the officers who graduate Ranger School get into the Regiment. The rest of us spent our careers spreading the Ranger virus across the Army.
I thought that if you pass the Ranger Assessment and Selection Program (RASP) course, you get put in the Ranger Regiment. After that, selected NCOs and officers can go to Ranger School.
And.....you don’t have to be a Ranger to go to (and graduate from) Ranger School.
