006 S03 Ep 01 - Warfighting as a Ranger w/CSM Masters & MSG Bailey

The Crucible - The JRTC Experience Podcast

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the fifth episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.’ Hosted by the Commander of Ops Group (COG), COL Matthew Hardman. Today’s guests are the command sergeant major of 3rdBattalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, CSM Christopher Masters and the operations sergeant major, MSG Patrick Bailey. 3/75 RGR has a distinguished record since the battalion’s formation in 1984 but can trace its lineage back to Roger’s Rangers during the French and Indian War and later back to the creation of 3rdBattalion during the North African Campaign of World War II.

It was during D-Day of WWII that their unofficial motto of “Rangers Lead the Way” as they spearheaded the landing on Dog White Sector. Keeping with their heritage of often finding themselves alone, behind enemy lines, their official Regimental motto is “Sua Sponte” or “Of Their Own Accord.” Known as the world’s premier light infantry fighting force, Ranger Regiment specializes in joint special operations raids and joint forcible entry operations deep inside enemy territory in support of our country's policies and objectives.

In this episode they discuss the employment of light infantry warfighters in large scale combat operations and training for combat on the modern battlefield.

Part of S03 “Lightfighter Lessons” series.
