The History of the 2nd Ranger Company

Abstract

The purpose of this research project is to uncover the history of the 2nd Ranger Company and to determine the impact segregation had on the selection, training, and combat operations of the 2nd Ranger Company. Subordinate questions are: What effect did black officers commanding black soldiers have on unit cohesion? How did leadership, training, and leader development contribute to successful combat operations? What role did the perception of inferiority, unwillingness to fight, and racial discrimination have on training, support, and combat operations? What role did segregation in the society play on integration of the Army in Korea?
