Marines vs Army Rangers?
They both play very different roles. (I'm assuming you're comparing Marine Infantry and Ranger Infantry) Marines are amphibious assault infantry, naval ship guards / boarding crews and are also used as a rapid deployment force in more recent times. They're training is a little more physical and rigorous than the US Army's Infantry, but they teach similar tactics (other than the amphibious parts). US Army Rangers are Special Forces. They are the rapidly deployable shock troopers of the Army and are able to conduct missions behind enemy lines. All Rangers are Airborne qualified. Ranger training is much more intense than Army Infantry or Marine Infantry training. I have no clue why you decided to put E.O.D. in there, but all they do is disarm bombs manually or through unmanned vehicles. They are also the ones that probe for any explosives or IEDs in a suspected area. Paratroopers are soldiers who are in the Airborne divisions of the Army. They are a step above regular Infantry, but nothing too spectacular.
Which is harder, US Army Rangers or US Marines?
The Marines are Conventional Troops. The Marine starts a Civilian and then does a 12 week Basic which is only pull up and also sit ups and also a three mile run. Which the Marine is given 28 minutes to do. 9.5 miles per mile if your slow. The Marines are then taken to SOI which is easier than Boot and they can go out at night on weekends and see women and drink booze.The Army Ranger is at First an 11b Infantryman. This is a 13.5 week OSUT which is very difficult and the Drill can be a Green Beret in some cases. Then Airborne School then Ranger School. I won’t go into details about those schools except that Special Forces goes to Airborne and Ranger School and so do Navy Seals. I was just reading about Green Beret who went to Ranger School three times and each time he went he was pulled out to do a Mission with Special Forces and he begged them to let him pass but they had to go to do the mission instead. Anyway. The Ranger 75th Ranger Regiment is the Elite Infantry. Marines use 13 man squads. The Army Infantry uses 9. Army Rangers use 4 to 5 Man teams. Less than half what Conventional Infantries use. The 75th Ranger Regiment is A Tier Two Socom Team and has Regimental Recon Company In it which is Tier One like Delta. It’s size is 3623 people more than Force Recon and Marine Raiders combined and bigger than Marsoc. There is no Tier One team in the Whole Marine Corps.On 29 June 2006 during a session of the Committee on Armed Services, General Wayne Downing testified before the U.S. House of Representatives that 70 percent of all Delta operators had served in the 75th Ranger Regiment.The Rangers are really really Elite. Most Of Delta Served with them. If 70 Percent served in the 75th Ranger Regiment that doesn’t leave a lot of room for Marines at the top.I’m sorry but Rangers are much better than Marines.Ranger PFT Minimum ScoresPush-ups in 2:00 49 in 2:00Sit-ups in 2:00 59Pull-ups 6Two-mile run 15:125 Mile run 40:0016-mile hike w/65lb pack 5 hours 20 minutes15-meter swim with gear Pass/FailThis is all just the minimum.Of course Rangers put up better scores. The 75th Ranger Regiment requires more than the minimumAlso there is the Ranger Qualified Soldiers who are in other Units. They aren’t the same as the 75th Regiment Soldiers but are there to help the Regular Units to be better by having Elite Infantry Inside the Infantry and Cavalry Teams as well as other Combat Arms. They are also trying to make 75th Rangers and are waiting for a slot to open up.
Marines or ARMY Rangers?
Something to think about: If you join the Army w/ a RIP contract - after Airborne school, you get assigned to Regiment. You will either be in Washington state, or one of two places in Georgia. You could be there for 3 years before you go to Ranger school. You could deploy 4-6 times in those 3 years. You'd still be doing Ranger missions on those deployments. Until you have a tab, you're a private to the battalion, regardless of your rank. They WILL NOT send you to Ranger school until they are totally certain that you will pass it, unless you have a crappy squad leader. If you fail it, you will be 'fired' (I think they call it "RFS - released for standards) and into the regular army... but you can become 'recycled' - which means they aren't failing you, they are giving you another chance at that phase. If you have to leave because of an injury, and therefore you cant finish, you can go back to Ranger school (it's better to break your leg than fail). My husband was a Ranger - I guess he always will be, even though he's moved on to bigger and better Army jobs. It does open doors and the leadership skills are useful outside of the military. My dad was in the Marines though, and he (and most Marines I know) always says there is just something different about a Marine... (as an example, hardly anyone would say "I'm in the United States Army" versus "I'm in the Army" whereas hardly anyone would say "I'm in the Marines" versus "I'm in the United States Marine Corps")
Can a marine be an army ranger?
Yes. There are a couple ways this could happen. His command could send him to ranger school where he would earn the ranger tab and subsequently return to his unit. This is common in the army and does occur to some extent over all the branches. This allows the individuals trained to pass on those skills to others in their unit, increasing the skill set of all around them. Note that most jobs in the Marines would not rate being sent to ranger school at all and attempting to join a Marine recon battalion would be more likely. Alternatively, he could finish his contract with the Marines and transfer to the army, where he could then have the option to join the 75th ranger regiment if he passed. He would most likely have to negotiate that into his reenlistment contract, from what I understand, ranger school is difficult and competitive to attend.
Whats the difference Between U.S Marines and Army Rangers?
Rangers are considered a special force of the Army, while Marines are a branch, not a special force. They mise well be though huh? Thats the only difference
Who sees more action Army Rangers, or Marines ?
Phoenix city Alabama is alright but Camp Pendleton is in San Diego If you can't get some action at Imperial Beach you don't have a pulse. there is all the USC hotties, and a few navy chicks Then there is T.J. We tell our troops to stay out of Mexico, it isn't safe, but Marines think they are invincible so they go just because we told them not to. Don't get me started on ship duty. You can get laid in Thailand even if you don't have a pulse. OH you mean who sees more combat.. Who cares
Who would win in a fight, a U.S. Marine or an Army Ranger?
When you say “fight”, I assume you mean on the field of battle and not a fist fight right?In that case neither would win.Why? Because as soon as they identified(we can tell by uniforms and gear) they were members of the same fighting force IE the US Military. They would join forces and work together to accomplish their objectives.Leadership would be quickly established based on rank. If one was gravely wounded. The other would carry him out of the danger area. If the wounded could not be carried out. The other would stay until either help arrived, or was captured or killed fighting off enemy forces.Once their missions were completed they would make their way back to the closest friendly force, regardless of whether it was Army or Marines. There they would be debriefed, congratulated on successful operations, be fed some chow then the odd man out would be transported back to their original unit with a very interesting story to tell.Army Rangers and Marines (when you say Marine I assume you mean Infantry, and not truck driver or pilot) possess overlapping skill sets and can perform many of the same missions. However the key missions they specialize in are different.Lets go back to your original question. Lets say you were somehow able to capture a Force Recon Marine and an Army Ranger Recce. You were then somehow able to transport them to a battlefield type arena. Where you then instructed them to fight to the death or be killed.IMO the the only thing you would have accomplished at this point, was bringing together two highly trained and extremely dangerous men. That as soon as they realized who each other was would work together, as a team to escape, and then hunt down and kill you!!!
Marines vs Rangers?! A view from both worlds..?
VTEC: To be honest, when I left the Corps, the idea of MARSOC existed on a napkin. We knew they were going to start pulling the senior and experienced guys from Force and Recon Bn to fill its ranks, and leave the two units as a shell of what they once were. MARSOC definitely sounded cool at the time. Now fast forward to present time, we have worked with MARSOC. But what we can do with them is very limited. They are nothing but SF with MARPAT on. Whatever Direct Action they know is obviously something they learned in their previous units. I respect those operators, but they are nothing more than guys used to conduct FID in order to ease up the optempo of Army SF. And recon or not, I still know how the rifle companies operate. And I promise you that our line companies in the regiment are on a different ball field with the Corps' rifle companies. You can play the pissed off ex-grunt all you want. The truth stings.
