165 candidates enter, two thirds of them will not complete the course. Swimming, rucking, running, obstacle courses - just a few of the things an aspiring army ranger will face the moment they step off the bus at the Ranger Assessment and Selection Program or RASP.
If students make it through the initial screening process, they are divided into platoons and given command structure. They must then pass weapons training, simulated tactical events, and worst of all, the mental strain of being constantly exhausted and demoralized.
What few students remain at the end of the course must command themselves through simulated battle scenarios with instructors filling the role of opposing forces. They hike through treacherous terrain in freezing temperatures, cross water using night vision goggles, and battle lack of sleep, encroaching hypothermia, and injuries to successfully defeat the instructors and make the long journey home.
The students forge an inseparable bond and as one final trial, they must critique each other. These critiques can make or break a student’s chances of graduating the course. A final test by the instructors to know these rangers can put their emotions aside and get the job done.

"Constantly exhausted and demoralised" Yup that's elite military training alright
Sounds like my parents life ever since me and my siblings came out 😂
Well I guess that’s why our military is elite
@@iwishtobetexan6060 Fr
That’s just how my day job makes me feel maybe this ranger thing isn’t so tough
Its a filter.
This is how my parents describe their journey to school
Yeah uphill both ways lol
Word 🤝😭
Walking to an from school uphill both ways
Thank you for mentioning the peer critique portion. Most people don’t realize but getting “peered out “ is actually a big ender of peoples Time there
And they MAKE them peer someone out cept females get automatically recycled to the next class...... Males have to appeal to maybe get a chance to recycle
How does it work? Like do people write down stuff bad mouthing others?
@@notalawyer9824 I think you rank your squad members from best to worst. If someone gets a low enough rating and the instructors do not like him, then he fails.
@@notalawyer9824 it all has to do with how many times you get ranked last. Even if everyone is the best someone has to come in last.
There’s only a couple guys per class that get “peered” out. Doesn’t happen often. Mostly after the first week guys fail for not passing their patrols.
I knew i had a zero percent chance of passing the combat water survival test, so i didn't waste anyone's time. I swim like a rock with my eyes open and not wearing a full combat load...
I dreaded Any phase or section that inclued water. Water events and the dreaded Rope climb are the worst for me. Tge rope is sneaky, because normally i can just muscle it up, but when you are dead tired proper foot technique is the only way you are everv getting up. I thought I was fùcked all the way up to event, then your training, muscle memory, and whatever adrenaline you have left kicks it.
@@williamrodriguezmswlcsw8119 i think the psyching oneself out before an event is why a lot of people have trouble with certain tests. It's probably by design. For, "reasons", i was doing a live agent chamber once. Live VX and Sarin. One guy in the group almost wasn't allowed to continue because his blood pressure spiked too high. Mine going in was 105/64. Medic asked if i knew what was ahead, and i did. So she kind snarkily goes "Ok, well we'll see how you are after." Check again, 104/65. "That didn't bother you at all did it?" No. But, by then NBC stuff had been over half my career. It was second nature. Most people aren't stressed out over what's known. Lol except in my case, i know i don't swim for shit. So, did you get your tab?
I would love to Apply in my countrys (Finland) special forces training but swimming is Hard for me too. I didnt even try because of that. Is there any change to get in any of these SF groups if youre not good at swimming in U.S? Im reservist now, but i try to get back in voluntery reservist group and go trough different classes. I really wanted to stay in military but here it is much harder to make Career out of it. I also had minor things in my criminal record so it makes it even harder. Its a shame, its not anything big or too serious what i have in there.
@@sdabuat6213 well there are schools that aren't considered fully special forces. Airborne, air assault, sapper. Rangers are above that, but in the army at least your not "special forces" until you've earned your green beret. Not sure if they also use a combat water survival test to get selected for the school, but it would make sense if they did. Keep up with your training and skills brother. Putin could turn his gaze at you folks like he's sauron after he's done fucking about in Ukraine
You didn’t pass because you had already decided you weren’t good enough. That’s on you not your inability to swim.
My brother came back from Ranger School last month. He failed. Edit: He went to Ranger School not RASP and then it took a bit for him to explain that you get the Ranger patch for going through Ranger School but you go through RASP to join 75th.
He better train to try again! Everyone fails at some point. It is a learning experience
Ranger school isn’t the same as RASP btw also even if he failed he got farther than most of us ever will lol
Atleast he tried. Better then most of us could do tbh. 🤷🏽♂️
did he fail Ranger School or RASP? there’s a difference
@@stupidmilkshake4887 Idk, he just said that he failed
Knew a kid who failed due to the critiquing part. Other guys didn’t like him so they pretty much voted him out. It’s gotta hurt to go all the way through and get nut punched like that.
Constantly exhausted and demoralized.. lack of sleep... that's life.
Not if you’re an army ranger.
I wasn't surprised too
Your not a ranger my guy
Sounds like you're well prepared for the military. Go and give it a shot seeing as you're already living a soldiers life.
Not exactly. I thought the same before I joined. You quickly realize there is an entire caliber of discomfort and suffering most people don’t even know exists until they experience it
For these reasons, it's why people who go around with stolen valour, need to be publicly shamed, since they go round publicly honouring themselves. it's so offensive to me...
What is valour and how can it be stolen
@@notofficialpickles507 not from the US, but as far as i know is about using military equipment, clothing, faking stories and saying that you were in the army(and active combat) in civilian life and social media. Its playing pretend to be respected when you never did any sacrifice
@@zaikolebolsh5724 bingo
@Roach it has nothing to do with single moms and obese people. Impersonating a person in the military to exploit people for money/ charity is wrong on so many levels.
@Roach are you 12 years old why would you shame single moms when you have no idea what circumstances placed them in that position. Guess we gotta shame widows for the death of their husbands according to your logic 🙄
I wanna live a life of danger I want to be a airborne ranger

@@picklerick9656 I think that was the point lol
Go for it
@@JoLeo137 if only I could turn back the hands of time😞🤔
Or just go fucking Airborne. Americans are never satisfied i swear.
I think your confusing Ranger School and RASP.
Definitely
No rasp is just as hard or worse
@@Ludwigvanbeethoven259 what he means is the video is talking about Ranger school not RASP. And Rasp isn’t difficult as much as it’s painful. School is kind of hard in the sense that you have to do things and complete tasks to graduates
@@thomasthellamas9886 you clearly haven’t been through RASP to say that it’s not that difficult
@@thomasthellamas9886 Done both, Rasp was more demanding. School you show up and spot light. You have no where else to go so you just keep going. After RASP being in regiment is demanding as is, even though you've "made it".
Seems like my childhood
Actually was mine also.
You’re confusing RASP with elements of ranger school. There is no force on force training in RASP. There’s also no mountains either, unless you consider cardiac hill a mountain
“Goddamnit! It sure as hell felt like a mountain sarnt!”
@@thomasthellamas9886 feels like Everest when you got a 250 lbs dude on your back. Lol
That hills a bitch if you're carrying weight😂😂😂... Served at Fort Benning Georgia as a Mortar Gunner at the 197th Infantry Brigade in the 1980's, and we were used regularly for the Infantry School to train soldiers in a variety of tasks from land navigation, medical training, etc. I've personally had the pleasure of pulling Point Man on an OCS school training exercise, caught soldiers from the airborne division trying to cross over a hill to attack our unit, and recommended that we pull back and outflank our adversaries... A lot of these guys had folks like us train these guys how to be excellent at their MOS's... I'll always have mass respect for the guys that chose to be Rangers....
I remember the first time seeing a graduation. After that I knew 75th was the the way all the way.
You do it?
@@tricktap8502 That silence means no. He probably isnt even 11b. Which is fine. But he shouldnt have an opinion.
l see the 'bonding ritual' of pissing on the new batch of rangers wasnt mentioned.
I’ve never heard of that lol
They'll find that out once they graduate
Why did that cgi dude in the beginning remind me of lizard man Mark Zuckerberg
😬Zuck on the brain. Put it down some! 😳🤣🤷🏻♂️💯
bruh he does
I’m proud to say, I would be out first
@Joël sure you dont big dog
@Joël what are you talking sbout
My friend's dad (and my hs history teacher) was a paratrooper and a Ranger. Guy is awesome
I think you're confusing RASP with the Ranger leadership course. RASP is strictly for the Army's 75th Ranger Regiment which is a SOF unit and a member of the USSOCOM. Whereas the Ranger leadership course is a program to train leadership. If you graduate the Ranger leadership course then you earn the Ranger "Tab" . If you graduate from RASP then you have earned the 75th Ranger Regiment's "Ranger Scroll". "Sua Sponte" ☀️⚡⭐
All that tough training and I only had to run my ass off in combat and that's after smoking a pack of cigarrettes.
I remember talking to my older brother stationed at Ft. Drum NY as an 11B. He told me after quiting Ranger school he realized at that moment he wasn't going to reenlist like he wanted to.
I would probably either fail or barley pass but I'm still gonna try when I'm old enough
Thank you for your sacrifices Rangers! 🇺🇸 United Well Stand! Divided Well Fall!🇺🇸
This is the most inaccurate video I’ve ever seen on army rangers. Either rasp or ranger school…. this video is a joke
No that’s not true sorry
The ranger school vs rasp confusion continues
I was mech infantry in the 80’s and was fortunate to have a couple of officers and one sergeant that I remember who were rangers. They were motivated, sharp and had high expectations of the soldiers.
Bro explained Ranger SCHOOL and called it RASP haha🤣🤣🤣
Wish I could have done this. Damn it.

There is a difference between “RIP”(now known as RASP, and Ranger school. Ranger school is a leadership course. Completing the school does not make you a Ranger. It gives you the title “Ranger qualified.” RIP is Ranger Batt and once there you will be pressed to attend Ranger school. Just a little helpful tip.
In the Philippines, before you become a Scout Ranger you need to pass the "Test Mission". Real Enemies, Real Mission, Once you fail, your dream to become the scout ranger is over
Did you die on yours my brother?
That's a lie.
I read before about a SF/commando unit that requires candidates to go on real mission with real enemies etc as their final exercise. If mission is a success then the candidates can become part of the unit. Couldn't remember if it was the Philippines Scout Rangers.
I went with a couple guys from my company, one guy failed the run, another failed the land nav. If you can get through the first week, most guys make it through. You can fail patrols but you get multiple chances to pass. Once you go through ranger you feel like basic training should be Ranger. It’s difficult but everybody should be able to make it through. I mean even women make it through now.

Ramrez scur th burer twn
@@gamingking9875 you said ramrez so I said that.
Enemys at the burger town!!! Epicness!!
DEFEND BURGER TOWN!!!!
Yes
The Australian infantry is comparable, when we started our 18 week course we had 47 people, when we finished we had 15.
I got my Ranger tab back in 2008. Please notice, I worded it that way for a reason. I was not a Ranger, but was Ranger certified. I was however, in the USAF at the time. AFSPECWAR SR for the win. "Those who dare!"
I have a friend who's tabbed and scrolled. The physical is easyish, put in the prep work and you'll reap the rewards. The real hard part is teo things, personality which you cant really change. As well as the ability to push through anything, also cant really be taught. I'm hoping to go through ranger school as a marine, so.i have to be in like the top 5-10% of marines. Let's get it people.
That m240 flash would be my motivation to keep going for more
I wanna go. Sign me up.
This video is talking about going to ranger school, but refers to it as RASP, which is the selection process for Ranger Battalion.
As someone who’ve been through rasp it was awful especially coming out of osut you can get dropped at any point for peer reviews and peer reviews are everything someone is getting dropped every time there’s a peer review I met a guy who got dropped previous class in rasp transitions (where you go after rasp) and he got peered out the very last week of rasp not to mention if you get into rasp as lower enlisted you’ll go to rasp 2 as an nco the lack of sleep and the real hard parts come from coal range pre rasp is completely physical and rasp itself is class after class while getting destroyed in between awful time for sure
Can you get peered out for doing absolutely nothing wrong
@@reaperx1236 my buddy who got dropped week 7 was just anti social knew his battle drills to a tee and was a pt stud just make friends trust those friends and help those friends out don’t be a shit bag if you’re gonna stand out stand out for being the guy who helps people not the one that tries to outdo everyone if you’re talkative not annoying complete all the pt and don’t get flagged for anything dangerous you should be fine but don’t get caught sleeping or halfassing
And every time your in the woods, ever 5 mile March, every 2 or 20 mile run - every minute your out - study the terrain. That terrains is where you’ll do exercises agains instructors or OpFor who live in those woods.
And every man and woman should have that type of strength, for our Lord Jesus Christ.
God bless 'em!! ❤️❤️❤️ 🇺🇲💪🏿💪🏽👍🇺🇲✝️
Getting peer’d out has got to be the biggest slap in the face.
Had two Ranger buddies. The first one crashed and I was crushed. And then my next buddy was an officer and we got through. And we are still great friends after retirement. Rltw
Dude it must be fkn *incredible* to come through that 🇬🇧🇺🇲🇨🇦🇦🇺🇳🇿
You forgot about the severe limit of meals they get. My Master Sergeant was a Ranger and told us he got 3 ‘meals’ a day but they were really just one big meal split to three times a day
I wish I tired for that when I was in the army. Failure or not, it must be one hell of an experience
RASP is the Army’s way of saying fuck you on 140 different languages but you feel like a god when you pass it.
India' special force 🇮🇳 9 Para SF, traning standards are extremely high and the training is too rigorous. only 10 to 11 % volunteer pass the 9 months training period.
PARA SF are Special forces. US Rangers are something equivalent to our Ghatak Commandos.

And this is how 3 Oregon vets, friends who did all this for their whole childhood together, were able to stop the train terrorists in France a few years ago.
Constantly exhausted and demoralized is all I have ever known
Well said 👍 ranger 👏🏻
In my RIP course we started with 77 graduated 29. My RANGER class started out with 62 graduated 19. I was 2nd Battalion 75th RANGER 82-87
But do they learn plumbing
For those who get confused, RASP and Ranger School are different
I remember my first day trying to get into ranger school in Fort Bragg. Instructors had everyone doing sit ups in slush at 4am talking about too many signed up and half had to quit. I immediately raised my hand. I can do cold. I can do wet. I can’t do cold and wet. Tough dude’s that went to ranger school that cycle.
Just basically just Marine Corps basic training and Marine Combat Training.
The country singer Kris Kristofferrson who is a Rhodes Scholar was asked "What is the hardest thing you have ever done?" His response Florida Phase Ranger School. Go there.
Sounds a lot like when I was a mover and had my own business. You start at 6am, work through lunch with no food many times, and when it's 95°F outside inside the box it's 115°F. And you can't stop until the job is done, maybe 10 or 11pm. Just enough time for water and Gatorade. Try not feeling demoralized when your arms are done and you still have a 250 lbs. leather sofa bed that still has to go up 4 flights of stairs, no elevator. Of course fast forward to my 40s, I have several herniated discs and I'm on psychotropic medication so I can function.
Being a mover is extremely difficult I know but you don't have to run with that dresser on your back......
I believe someone of them really have lots of fun doing this things👍👍👍💪💪💪👌
Ranger Class 12-85...back before they would stop training for weather...
I completed ranger school when rangers wore black barrettes
Rangers still do wear berets..this is just showing ranger school not rasp
I want to attend West Point and after I get out of school go into an infantry battalion then attempt to join SF.
Looks easy. Navy seals are hard though.
I just saw footage of a live-fire exercise and a NTC rotation. I didn’t see footage of any of the ranger school phases.
My lawyer was a army ranger they guy could describe my personality before I even opened my mouth to tell him
They also gotta do SEAR if I’m not mistaken
"Constantly exhausted and demoralized; battling lack of sleep" Apparently, I've been a Ranger since graduating high school.
Try going through the Thai Ranger School and see how tough it is
How hard can it be? Middle aged mothers pass.
Was gonna say, they must have made it way easier cause starting to see alot of female Rangers.
try a recon assist training worse then a navy seal basically crossing enemy lines to spy
I would do well being a submarine cuz all I do is sink
