Course Scope:

Purpose: The purpose of the Ranger Training Assessment course is to assess, train and prepare eligible Army National Guard and Foreign Military Soldiers to complete the US Army Ranger Course. This course is designed to improve the combat arms functional skills of officer and enlisted volunteers.

Course Outcomes: The Soldier will be able to: - Demonstrate physical and mental preparedness for the US Army Ranger Course. - Apply troop leading procedures, navigate while dismounted, develop and carry out combat orders and reconnaissance/combat patrols to the same standards as at the US Army Ranger Course.
