The following is a release from Fort Benning Public Affairs:

The U.S. Army Maneuver Center of Excellence announced today that 94 men and two women met the standards of the Swamp Phase and will graduate the Ranger Course, Aug. 21.

Ranger School is the Army’s premier combat leadership course, teaching Ranger students how to overcome fatigue, hunger and stress to lead Soldiers during small unit combat operations. A graduation ceremony will be held on Victory Pond on Fort Benning for those students, who met the standards of the entire course.

The Ranger Course is a 62-day course on leadership and small unit tactics, which pushes Ranger students to their mental and physical limits by forcing them to operate on minimal food and sleep. Approximately 34 percent of students, who enter Ranger School, recycle at least one phase of the course, adding to the student’s physical and mental fatigue. Male and female students completed the phases of the school and have proven their determination, physical stamina, and mental toughness to succeed. All have earned the right to wear the Ranger Tab.

“Congratulations to all of our new Rangers. Each Ranger School graduate has shown the physical and mental toughness to successfully lead organizations at any level. This course has proven that every Soldier, regardless of gender, can achieve his or her full potential. We owe Soldiers the opportunity to serve successfully in any position where they are qualified and capable, and we continue to look for ways to select, train, and retain the best Soldiers to meet our nation’s needs,” Army Secretary John M. McHugh said.

During the course, students learn how to operate in three different environments: woodlands in Fort Benning, mountainous terrain in Dahlonega, Georgia, and coastal swamp in Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. Highlights of the course include a physical fitness test consisting of 49 push-ups, 59 sit-ups, a five-mile run in 40 minutes, and six chin-ups; a swim test; a land navigation test; a 12-mile foot march in three hours; several obstacle courses; four days of military mountaineering; three parachute jumps; four air assaults on helicopters; multiple rubber boat movements; and 27 days of mock combat patrols.

Approximately 165 men and two women began the challenging training in the coastal swamps of Eglin Air Force Base, Aug. 1. Additionally, Ranger students selected to recycle the Swamp Phase will start the phase again on Aug. 29.

Nineteen women and 381 men started Ranger Class 06-15, April 20. Eight women successfully completed RAP week; however, all were recycled into Ranger Class 07-15 as Darby inserts for a second attempt at patrolling. After the second Darby Phase attempt, five were dropped from the course and three were given a day one recycle into Ranger Class 08-15, starting the course again June 21.

These three women successfully met the standards of the Benning Phase and moved on to the Mountain Phase, July 10. All three women passed the knot test, military mountaineering skills assessment, the foot movement up Mount Yonah, and were given opportunities to lead patrols. One woman recycled into Ranger Class 09-15 to start the Mountain Phase again, Aug. 9.

Two women received a passing grade in the mountains during platoon level combat patrols and moved on to the Swamp Phase, Aug. 1. The two women also met the standards of the Swamp Phase, proficiently leading waterborne platoon level combat patrols and will earn the Ranger Tab, Aug. 21.
