Ranger leaders participated in a two week Ranger Marksmanship Instructor’s Course. The training consisted of M9 pistol firing drills and M4/SCAR marksmanship that included alternate firing positions, recoil management, barricade, and Close Quarters Marksmanship.

Nothin' like seeing your old 1sg as a PFC. He looks the exact same....

Then and now.

Jan. 11, 2012: On this date, Command Sergeant Major Rick Merritt, the 14th Regimental Sergeant Major of the 75th Ranger Regiment, relinquished responsibility to Command Sergeant Major Nick Bielich, the 15th Regimental Sergeant Major of the 75th Ranger Regiment, in a Change of Responsibility Ceremony held at Fort Benning, Ga. The ceremony was officiated by the Regimental Commander, Col. Mark W. Odom, and attended by Rangers past and present, family, and friends.

I honestly belive that the current photo stream is a lot better PR machine than a saturation by a shit ton of literature.

"Into the Breach" by S. Brown.

Hey, very similar drawing was posted by D-fuze in the SAS thread(cancelled already), maybe it's the same author. Anyway, my question is does 75th RR has dog handlers and/or K-9 unit?

 

[goon175]

Yeah, we have our own dog handler section organic to the battalion.

 

[Mack PL]

Thanks

This is shooting training of polish military unit Agat(our equivalent of rangers). This is only my assumption but the dude in multicam(with no headsets and M4) is(or at least looks to be) a Ranger. According to our SF command 75th RR sent some instructors to help our guys.

 

[Ravage]

Looks like it.

Speaking of I'm wondering. AGAT was created for two reasons: 1) no idea what to do with Paceks MP SOF, and 2) as a sorta heavy weapons support for the three main SOF units (GROM, Regiment and Formoza). Still, the idea it self was sorta "BlackhawkDown-ish", as in AGAT was more of a external security when the door-kickers did their thing. The Ranger Regiment, as it was told a milion times before in other threads, went far beyond that.

Now that our guys are doing time with seasoned Rangers, it will be interesting if "Czarny" might wanna go ahead and do the same what Rangers did - make them our military primary raid force.
On the flip side, there are those that would prefer everybody to be inferior to others.
The next few years will be interesting indeed.

Good eye Mack.
