Following the success of OPERATION URGENT FURY by 1st and 2nd Ranger Battalions in Grenade in 1983, the demand for Rangers was excessive.
To satisfy that demand, then Chief of Workers of the Army, Gen. John A. Wickham, ordered the activation of a third Ranger battalion and a Ranger Regimental Headquarters.
Forty years in the past, the seventy fifth Ranger Regiment was born, and it has led the way in which for our Army and nation ever since.
From the jungles of Panama to the streets of Mogadishu, to the sands of the Center East and the mountains of Afghanistan, the fashionable Ranger Regiment has stood the check of time.
This week marks the fortieth Anniversary of the activation of third Ranger Battalion and the Regimental Headquarters, and we honor this second in addition to all Rangers, previous and current.
