Ranger Company
What we do
Part of becoming an Army Officer is challenging yourself beyond what you can do. We include adventurous activities into our program allowing Cadets to push themselves to the edge and beyond and to do things most Americans do not get to do. We rappel down a 40-foot tower, run through challenging confidence courses, conquer a Field Leadership Reaction Course, and learn how to survive in the water.
Ranger Company is a program that focuses on new Cadets in the Battalion. It provides them the opportunity to accelerate their training and knowledge in warrior tasks and drills early in their ROTC training. This develops the foundation of knowledge that will be extremely helpful and beneficial to those who make it through the once-a-week program when they become the leaders in the program.
Why we do it
Every summer, the top Cadets are chosen to attend one of several U.S. Army Schools: US Army Airborne Training (Georgia), US Army Air Assault Training (Ft Drum, New York), Internship Programs and various CTLT position with active units that are performing real-world missions. Competition is intense, but the selected Cadets are in for an experience of a lifetime and only the best get picked.
Ranger Company will help you become the best and get one of the positions from above.
"Rangers Lead The Way!"
It is the job of all Ranger Company Cadets to exceed all the standards of their respective service. They are to be superior in all things military. Ranger Cadets are to be the best dressed in Garrison, and the dirtiest in the field. They will volunteer to lead and show the way for the rest of their fellow Cadets. They are to be the strongest, and smartest among their peers. It is understood that there are many things that a Ranger Cadet may not know perfectly, but it is understood that they will go far beyond their means to learn it and pass on the newly acquired knowledge. All Ranger Cadets will provide a sense of unit integrity among the Ranger Cadets, and will work as a team in all things. Excellence is the norm and not an exception.
What is RQW
Ranger Qualification Week is the grand finale of training which allows Cadets to challenge themselves mentally and physically through a rigorous Cadet driven scenario. Completing this scenario will bring great credit upon yourself, allow you to become an instructor in Ranger Company for the following year, and ensure you are one of the top Cadets in the Battalion.
Throughout the season you will have the opportunity to learn of your weaknesses and improve on them, while highlighting and improving your strengths.
You will be exposed to the physical and mental toughness required to make sound judgments in strenuous situations.
Furthermore TEAM work is emphasized to the extreme.
