Stationing of the 75th Ranger Regiment

Abstract

The 75th Ranger Regiment is currently developing a new operational and organizational plan (O&O) to adapt to future threats and operational environments and to maximize the potential of its Rangers in the Army's Future Force. One of the major changes proposed by the O&O is the forward basing of Ranger units around the globe and the consolidation of the entire 75th Ranger Regiment at one location. The first three chapters of this thesis focus on the future operational environments, threats, and changes the Army and the 75th Ranger Regiment are currently considering. The next two chapters are a theoretical analysis of potential forward-basing strategies, followed by an analysis of the consolidation concept. In the final chapter, the thesis concludes that forward basing and consolidation of the 75th Ranger Regiment should be pursued to provide the Department of Defense a more deployable and lethal force prepared to conduct special operations in support of national policies and directives.
