ARMY RANGER OFFICER

• Army Ranger Officers are highly
trained and intelligent individuals
who must stay calm in the face of
danger. They are responsible for
coordinating and executing missions
and leading special forces teams.
Army Ranger Officers travel all over
the world for mission and training.
The key to becoming a good officer
is courage, loyalty and the ability to
over come one’s fears.
• To be an Army Ranger Officer you
need at least a need bachelors
degree from any four year college or
university. However what you get a •
degree in does not matter. The first
two years an officer can make

place too long, moving from base to

Rangers use math for a variety of task such as :
• Map reading skills
• What heights to parachute safely
• Simple addition and subtraction for knowing how much supplies
they have
• How much supplies they can pack
• The amount of bullets they have after a firefight
• How much supplies they can have on them when they parachute,
because to if they are too heavy they faster than intended.
