75th Ranger Regiment

This vintage art deco style military travel poster “75th Ranger Regiment”, is dedicated to all the hard working elite soldiers of the 75th Ranger Regiment.

The 75th Ranger Regiment, also known as Rangers, is an elite special operations force of the United States Army. The regiment is headquartered at Fort Benning, Georgia and is composed of one special troops battalion and three special operations battalions with specialized skills that enable them to perform a variety of special operations missions, including direct action, airfield seizure, airborne and air assaults, reconnaissance, and personnel recovery. It operates as a special operations force of the United States Army Special Operations Command.

American Ranger history predates the Revolutionary War to Ethan Allen and his guerrilla fighting group The Green Mountain Boys in Vermont. Captain Benjamin Church formed Church’s Rangers, which fought hostile Native American tribes during King Philip’s War. Major Robert Rogers formed a Ranger unit in 1757 to fight during the French and Indian War. They were known as “Rogers’ Rangers”. The Continental Congress formed eight companies of expert riflemen in 1775 to fight in the Revolutionary War. In 1777, this force of hardy frontiersmen, commanded by Dan Morgan, was known as The Corps of Rangers
