Marine Rangers

==Role==
The 1st Marine Ranger Division specialize in advanced reconnaissance in extreme environments and direct action. They also have a higher priority to field test experimental technology.
Entering the Rangers requires the candidate to have at least eight years of experience in the military and to have been an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper for at least three years. After that there is an application process followed by a selective committee, much like the selection process for the ODSTs, but with extra barriers of psychological exams and background checks. All candidates must also have a mechanical score greater than 90 on the ASVAB/RANGER test (out of 100). There is also an intense physical test for entry, which includes:
*100 push-ups in 3.5 minutes (150 for competitive)
*100 sit-ups in 3.5 minutes (150 for competitive)
*600 yard swim in thirteen minutes
*Eight pull-ups from a dead hang (14 for competitive)
*Run 2 miles in boots and trousers in under 12:30 with a competitive time of 10:40
After that, all Marine Ranger candidates who pass are sent to indoctrination training, which prepares trainees to be able to use experimental equipment that has a higher chance of malfunctioning than regular equipment.
