Being part of the 75th is a hell of an accomplishment on its own man.
I served as a young Ranger Officer before transitioning outside the USMIL. What I learned in Regiment set me up success later on in my career. Everyday you are taught to comprehend and assess the battlefield to drive decision making. When you take a step back, and see how far the 75th Ranger Regiment has come between 2002 to 2019, it is absolutely incredible.
What separates Regiment from the rest of the SOF community is "Specialty Schools"; like Dive and Halo. Some NSW and SF Dudes, and even some Decision Makers on Capitol Hill, will look down on Regiment for that. Some don't realize that a Ranger Team Leader, Squad Leader, or Platoon Sergeant has more formal training in those positions than anyone in the SOF community.
It is very proud moment when Regiment is doing a mission, and a Decision Maker looks at you and says "That was a text book mission, and not a shot was fired. Tell the Ground Force Commander we said thank you and well done". Damn...
Modest guy. Infantry -> Airborne -> Ranger progression is most 11Bravo desire/goal.
It was mine for sure!! I argued and did pt test after pt test and made bluffs that I wouldn't join it felt like a teenage back and forth relationship lol all to get the op 40 contract from my recruiter
Well, I was lowly 82nd Infantry so this guy is on a level much higher than me!
David your channel has been on fire. Def one of my favorite most underrated channels on RUclips.
SF ODA's that did mostly direct-action missions were called "Combatant Commanders In-extremis Force (CIF) Company. I can't remember if every SF Battalion had a CIF Company or if it was every SF Group that had them. IIRC, Carl from the Tactical Rifleman Channel was in a CIF Company.
Each Group had a CIF Company
Every SF Grp had one CIF Company which was tasked with a Direct Action mission-that was our primary focus.If the Unit boys were deployed elsewhere or if they were coming but not on station when needed-we would make the hit.I was with A/1/5-which is 5th Grp.
@@irishdefense77, awesome, thanks man!
@@6.4hemidriver44 my honor to help.
They still have those companies. They were first called CIF, then CRF, HTD and now they're CTAC. 10th Group also has two of them, C-1-10 and C-2-10.
Great interview, CSM Burke much respected!
LOL
greg birch is my best friend from 2/75.
we were "maggots" together )
in the 70's and 80's
a co, 1st platoon.
and sergeants together in 2/75
I’ve heard a few times, it’s nit always the best guy that makes it, it’s the right guy.
God bless you Fort Bragg All Americans. Thank you for your service
I was in Civil Affairs (Mr. zero nobody), the last guys you want to see board your helo at the last minute, as you're headed out for a MedCap (pass out goodies, vitamins and do field treatment) is those guys. Some yoked up bearded rouges walk on your bird or ride a quad into the center and strap it down , as your ready to push out for a village. All bad and a sinking feeling comes over you...shooters never show up unless something bad is about to happen. Thoughts in your head, "what's about to happen? I don't need this, motherfxcker" then you start double checking you kit and wondering what haven't' they told me
Like humility you have.
Great guy
Bro you’ve gotta interview a Rhodesian Selous Scout!
That would be a first for RUclips!
The team house podcast did an interview with a Rhodesian scout
@@JohnDoe69986Yep and Jon Van Zyl
I tried hard for three years to get numerous Podcasts to interview Mr David Scott-Donelan, including Jacko. No one would touch it. He passed away two months ago. His story and life were legendary, one of my mentors
Rangers Lead The Way!!!
Omg. I did not know that Ben Affleck was in SF! 😂
75th Ranger Regiment is part of JSOC right? So they are already a Tier 1 Unit? I've never seen anyone clearly explain all the different Ranger designations. Seems a bit confusing from the outside. The units that seem to get the most publicity are Delta and Dev Gru. I'd also love to hear you have someone on from "Orange." That unit seems to be the most secretive of JSOC?
Nah the 75th Ranger Regiment as a whole are under the command of SOCOM which makes them a Tier 2 unit, they do have a Tier 1 unit called RRC-Regimental Reconnaissance Company which is under the command of JSOC
@@user-wi1xs5pc7g Ahh ok, I thought they were one in the same. Good catch. I'd still love to learn more about the various Ranger designations.
I see a catch 22 with Delta 1) their standards are so high and tough very few get in. 2) we need more of them so (1) limits the number of operators
Yes, but on the flip side you can take these tier 2 guys and train them to a pretty high level, as he explained how they evolved throughout GWOT, bridging the capability gap between them.
You attempted the 40 and cut for time or were you cut before the event kicked off?
6:09 “I took the long walk…wasn’t successful.”
7:20 “I didn’t make the time so got cut right before the 40”
Either way, he didn’t make it so he’s got no right to critique anything about them
@DGillian6406 I'm not sure that logic holds up. I've never made a movie but that doesn't mean that I'm incapable of seeing flaws in films.
@@sorenpxthat’s because you see the film!
Nobody sees what CAG is doing except CAG or higher ups. Very hush hush stuff , but maybe not for long.
I was an officer. I know they just view it as a tax. I know that Delta is going to skim a good portion of my meat eaters twice a year to attend selection and a percentage of them will be gone forever either because they made it, got hurt, or quit and is never the same afterwards.
The chain of command will say things like “Just train more up,” but deny my requests for more school slots, ammunition, range time, etc.
Then again, maybe they’re a part of a small corner of the armed forces I never saw.
Damn the us army/sf are so divided! More worried about who’s in the higher up unit and looking good!! 😮
Anybody work with a CSM from Delta named Joe Vega?
I have read that 40 percent of rangers fail delta force operator training. If true, that’s some rigorous training.
Out of 100 dudes that try out sometimes ZERO get selected….that includes experiences rangers and green berets
75% of candidates fail OTC for The Unit.Far more than any other unit.Remember that only the best of the best get selected to attempt it-so this is far more difficult than you could possibly imagine.I graduated from OTC but didn’t get selected.I found out later that it was because I wasn’t laid back enough and had no sense of humor.I don’t feel badly about it now,but when it happened I was devastated.I went back to SF and had a great career,but I always had ridiculous respect for the D boys.
They have crazy physical training like most tier 1 ops but from what i seen and heard its the psychological training that sets them apart. Their selection process is different from everyone else, even devgru. Thats why very few get selected. Delta doesnt take the BEST guy, they take the RIGHT guy.
@irishdefense77 If you have to be laid back and have a good sense of humor to get selected for Delta, that would probably disqualify me right there. That is an interesting requirement.
@@sorenpx not a requirement, but you’d probably go to the squadron full of rangers lol
Are these the Rambo's or the chuck Norrises? so to speak
Rambo would be considered tier 2 even though back in his time and the group he was with macvsog was basically tier 1.
Chuck Norris delta force is considered tier 1
Sua Sponte RLTW!
Delta will always be better than anybody. Ranger COPE
Hearing David (who’s never been in the millitary) talk and discuss delta force, rangers and the seals is so cringey
Exactly, he's the world's Number 1 CAG fanboy
At the end of the day it’s boys vs men!
Ben Affleck was a Ranger?
No, they are not "just like you." You were "just like they USED to be"
Rangers should only go to their tier 1 component which is the RRC, recon specialist only, delta is a SF tier 1 component Rangers don’t belong to an SF tier 1 component
Don't be ridiculous!
Lmao this is ridiculous cause I've heard other guys on podcast say there are different type groups within Delta. Some are filled with rangers, some filled with Seals etc
Delta force has more Rangers in it than SF dudes so you saying it’s for SF guys doesn’t make sense
Tiers don’t exist anymore. RRC has a completely different mission set and culture than the Unit. The Unit is not an SF unit. 1st SFOD-D was their original name and they haven’t used it in decades. They have no relation to SF ODAs. Rangers go to Delta because Rangers want to go kill bad guys and that’s what Delta does.
