History

Development The U.S. Army Rangers were modeled after the British Commandos during the early years of World War II. Formed in 1942, these units underwent rigorous training in amphibious assaults, mountain climbing, and long-range reconnaissance to become the premier light infantry force of the United States.

Role Rangers were often tasked with the most dangerous "impossible" missions. During the D-Day landings, the 2nd and 5th Ranger Battalions were responsible for capturing high-value targets, such as the coastal artillery batteries at Pointe du Hoc, and spearheading the breakthrough on Omaha Beach.

Significance The Rangers' performance in WWII cemented their reputation as one of the world's finest elite fighting forces. Their motto, "Rangers Lead the Way," originated during the chaotic landings at Normandy and continues to define the unit's mission profile in the modern era, making them a cornerstone of military history.
