All are U.S. Army.
Rangers go as far back in our history as the French-Indian War. However in 1974, the U.S. Army needed an élite, light infantry capable of rapid deployment, thus, the 1st Ranger BN. wasformed, since then, so has the 2nd & 3rd Ranger Bns. Now under the 75th Ranger Regiment.

U.S. Army's 82nd Airborne Division (paratroopers) out of Fort Bragg, NC, is a light infantry Division (Much larger in size than a Battalion). Light Infantry, means how they travel, jump from planes or by foot. Heavy or Mecanized Infantry is carried by trucks or troop carriers. Heavy Mech Units can't jump with the size & weight of their equipment. By the 82nd does have light tanks which are dropped (hopefully not at the same time as the troops).
