The flexibility of the Ranger Force requires it to perform under various command structures. The Army maintains the Regiment at a high level of readiness. Each battalion can deploy anywhere in the world with 18 hours notice. Because of the importance the Army places on the 75 th Ranger Regiment, it must possess a number of capabilities. There are no organic transportation assets.
Ranger battalions are light infantry and have only a few vehicles and crew-served weapons systems.
Additionally, one rifle company with battalion command and control can deploy in 9 hours. The Regimental Headquarters remains on RRF1 at all times. RRF1 rotates between the three battalions normally in 13 week periods. The Ranger Regiment can deploy in any number of ways. The force can deploy directly from home station to the area of operations.
