From the Dieppe Raid and the D-Day invasion to Iraq and Afghanistan, the U.S. Army Rangers have earned their reputation for bravery, leadership, and sacrifice in combat. In any military conflict, Rangers are among the first troops on the ground. They willingly accept the most dangerous missions in war, and their volunteer members risk all they have to get the job done. They are tough, they are fearless, and they are leaders.
