This week Rob, Dale, and Dave talked about Ranger School. There is a lot of ground to cover, and we went a little longer than usual. I also must apologize because we had some connectivity issues at the end of the show and Dale’s audio was cut off, but I can assure you what he said was incredibly profound. Either way we bring you 3 Generations of Ranger Qualified guys who also worked at the schoolhouse. The scary part of it is the course has changed, but it hasn’t changed so much that this conversation will not be relevant to you. RLTW!
Rob – 4th RTB ’05-07, 6th ‘13- ‘15
Dale – Ranger Instructor - 5th RTB – ‘89-91
Dave – Ranger Instructor – 4th from – ’05- ‘07
Five Principals of Patrolling
Ranger School is the Army's toughest course and the premier small unit tactics and leadership school. The Ranger Course is a mentally and physically challenging school that develops functional skills directly related to units whose mission is to engage the enemy in close combat and direct-fire battle. For 62 days, Ranger students train to exhaustion, pushing the limits of their minds and bodies. The course incorporates three phases (Darby, Mountain, and Swamp) which follow the crawl, walk, run training methodology. In the Darby phase, the students become trained on squad operations and focus on ambush and recon missions, patrol base operations, and planning before moving on to platoon operations. In the Mountain phase, students develop their skills at the platoon level in order to refine and complete their training in the Swamp phase. After these three phases, Ranger Students are proficient in leading squad and platoon-dismounted operations around the clock in all climates and terrain. Rangers are better trained, more capable, more resilient, and better prepared to serve and lead Soldiers in their next duty position.
