Following the success of OPERATION URGENT FURY by 1st and 2nd Ranger Battalions in Grenade in 1983, the demand for Rangers was high.



To meet that demand, then Chief of Staff of the Army, Gen. John A. Wickham, ordered the activation of a 3rd Ranger battalion and a Ranger Regimental Headquarters.



Forty years ago, the 75th Ranger Regiment was born, and it has led the way for our Army and nation ever since.



From the jungles of Panama to the streets of Mogadishu, to the sands of the Middle East and the mountains of Afghanistan, the modern Ranger Regiment has stood the test of time.



This week marks the 40th Anniversary of the activation of 3rd Ranger Battalion and the Regimental Headquarters, and we honor this moment as well as all Rangers, past and present.
