what are the differences between Green Beret and Rangers regarding the kind of missions ?

Answer 1

Someone said you have to be a Ranger before you are a Green Beret, which is completely FALSE. You can get the 18x contract and go to the Special Forces Assessment and Selection course right after basic training and AIT(and any other school you might have to go to). It is very tough but if you pass you will be allowed to go onto the Q-course which trains you in the fields you need to be a Special Forces soldier.

Rangers are completely different. They are infantry, just like Marines with nicer equipment. They are both great at what they do but they are not the same as Green Berets, SEALs, Para rescue, Delta Force, etc. They do a lot of missions in SUPPORT of these units. Example, if you have seen the movie Black Hawk Down, you see the Delta guys go inside and capture the targets and the Rangers set off a perimeter on the outside of the building.

Generally, Rangers work in large groups doing infantry type things(too many to list, look it up if you don't know) and Green Berets do things such as counter terrorism, training guerrillas, reconnaissance, etc.

It is tough to get into either, but you can do it if you want it bad enough.

Answer 2

Rangers are basically advanced infantry. They get the hardest large group infantry missions and are very well trained all around, BUT Green Berets (not always Ranger Qualified) are Special Forces (hence a Special Forces Tab they earn) go through more extensive training, have to learn certain languages proficiently for where they operate, and do classified, covert, and more small unit missions. Some Ranger qualified soldiers do go into Special Forces (green berets) but you will see just as many if not more Special Forces soldiers without a Ranger Tab. Rangers fall in between Special Forces, and regular Infantry.

The 75th Ranger Regiment —also known as the United States Army Rangers— is a light infantry special operations force of the United States Army Special Operations Command (USASOC); with headquarters in Fort Benning, Georgia. The Regiment is a flexible, highly-trained and rapidly deployable light infantry force with specialized skills that enable them to be employed against a variety of conventional and special operations targets.

The force specializes in airborne, air assault, light infantry and direct action operations, raids, infiltration and exfiltration by air, land or sea, airfield seizure, recovery of personnel and special equipment, and support of general purpose forces (GPF), among other uses. Each Ranger battalion can deploy anywhere in the world within 18 hours' notice.


Special Forces:

The United States Army Special Forces—or simply Special Forces (capitalized)—is a Special Operations Force of the United States Army trained for unconventional warfare and special operations. The force was founded in 1952 by Colonel Aaron Bank. Members of the Special Forces are also popularly known as "Green Berets" because of their distinctive green beret headgear. Their official motto is De Oppresso Liber (Latin: "To free from oppression"), a reference to one of their primary missions to train and assist foreign indigenous forces.[1]

Answer 5

Green berets are rangers who have received more specialized training and operate more independently than rangers. They were rangers before they became Green Berets
