The 75th Ranger Regiment is a unique and specific culture among the American armed forces establishment. They stand alone, even among our other Special Businesses forces, as the most active brigade-sized drive in today's Global Conflict on Terrorism. Since 9/11, the Regiment has been the only continuously engaged unit in the Army, and has already established 40 percent of its amount deployed in harm's way for the last decade. Their mission is unique. Rangers do not patrol, they don't really train allied causes, nor do they engage in routine counterinsurgency duties. They have a single-mission emphasis: they look for the enemy and they capture or wipe out them. This packages Rangers aside as real, direct-action warriors. Army Rangers are not born; they are created. The modern 75th Ranger Regiment presents the culmination of 250 years of American soldiering. As the nation's oldest standing armed forces unit, the Regiment traces its origins to Richard Rogers' Rangers through the pre-Revolutionary French and Indian Conflict, through the likes of Francis Marion and John Mosby, to the five energetic Ranger battalions of the Second World War, and lastly, to the four battalions of the existing Ranger regiment employed in modern battle. Over that period, a typical of professional quality and the forging of this quality is distilled in the choice, analysis, and training of today's Rangers. Granted unprecedented usage of the training of the highly restricted element of America's Special Businesses Forces in a period of war, retired Navy Captain Dick Couch tells the personal storyline of the teenagers who start this difficult and dangerous trip to become Ranger. Many will attempt but only a go for few will endure to serve in the 75th Ranger Regiment. Sua Sponte follows a group of these aspiring young warriors through the crucible that is ranger training and their planning for direct-action missions in Afghanistan resistant to the Taliban.
