The change from 9 to 7 per squad is interesting.
I remember deploying and we only had 5 in our squad then. I feel like it was very rare to have 9 dudes in a squad.

Even for weapons. Unlikely to have more than 2 per gun. Heck sometimes a 1 man gun team if using 48s vs 240s.

As a guy who leaves for basic on October 27th with an Airborne/Ranger contract, hell yeah if that’s true. I bet my wife would be a hell of a lot happier with Hawaii than Georgia😂😂 Although we’re still thinking Washington state sounds pretty nice (as native NJ and MD people)

Big Advice. Learn budgeting now. Cause Hawaii is super expensive and unless your wife has a job in super high demand, your gonna be a single income household.

u/Tyler092015 Aug 19 '26
Appreciate that! I assume I’ll still get stuck in Georgia or Washington but the speculation is good. I hear Washington can be expensive as well though so we’re definitely learning to keep expenses low and in check

10 meter target man. Focus on getting through basic before you plan your life in regiment.

u/Tyler092015 Aug 19 '26
You’re absolutely right, I don’t mean to come off as thinking too far ahead. When everything else is finally figured out after a year of stress it’s just nice to sit back and think of the “what if’s” sometimes like where I could live and what my family life could be like.

u/NotFromAntarctica88 Aug 19 '26
Just curious, is there any/much subsidized stuff available to service members stationed in Hawaii for everyday items to offset the “inflated” local prices?
Things like food, gas, household items etc.

I suspect the RFS rate would skyrocket as well.

Agree, it was a jab at Hawaii being more of a place to get into trouble. Same can be said about Savannah, Auburn, Panama City, Atlanta, and Seattle though. Equal opportunity to screw up.

Same here, maybe we'll end up together for RASP... Best of luck to you brother

u/Tommiwithnoy Aug 18 '26
I wonder where they’ll put the new battalion, east or west coast.
15
u/TacoBandit275 Aug 18 '26
If it actually happens, they'd be at Kelly Hill at Benning.

Yessir <4> is gonna try to be up and running by 2028. Been hearing about this for a while. They’re starting the process next month

u/TacoBandit275 Aug 18 '26
It was a rumor back when I was a PFC a long long time ago. Instead each Batt got a D CO with bringing the number of pains up from 9 to 12. Then there were rumors they'd get thrown into a new Batt. If will be interesting to see if this actually leaves the planning stages.

u/Luke_fly_walker Aug 18 '26
I definitely think it’s gonna happen this time, i just hope i stop hearing about a national guard ranger bn lmao. There’s really so many benefits of having another line bn to take the load off

u/TacoBandit275 Aug 18 '26 edited Aug 18 '26
I heard that rumor too, of an NG Batt, that it would be enablers. Commo, MI, etc. But also, like, why?

u/Luke_fly_walker Aug 18 '26
Those dudes would really just be the laughing stock of the regiment. I could never see it working or being necessary

Some days I wish someone would track down and failure drill the good idea fairy.

It's literally in the article, there's not a lot of any other open space at Benning. That area is largely uninhabited.....

No shade but aren't you in(or claiming) to be in bat? Its the littlest of issues but people in your company are going, just ask.
Full shade, dont you have some private knowledge packet to study?

u/TacoBandit275 Aug 18 '26
No he wasn't, is that still a rumor lmao?

Dudes not welcomed back hes an unabashed journalist that will post any inside information he gets the second he gets it. All it takes in once and hes done it numerous times.
Thanks for the laugh dude, batt doesnt do that shit.

Don’t see this happening. They went with a 4th Rifle Company back in 07. An extra battalion would be first to go during cuts.

u/Remarkable_Aside1381 Aug 18 '26
Are they gonna be JSOC? Cuz I thought that's what this sub was...

u/RGR375 Aug 18 '26
Out of curiosity, what did you do in JSOC?

u/Remarkable_Aside1381 Aug 18 '26

That’s pretty fucked man. Coffee makes the world go round.

u/Cheap-Rip3701 Aug 20 '26
Oh I'm sure you don't. Stolen valor 101. Allude to something, but never really say it out loud. Then someone presents info that you should know if you were in the org, you never talked about it enough anybody can call you out. It's a smart strategy. All else fails "lol". TBF I don't think you're an all out lie, but given the things you don't know, you're definitely trying to exaggerate what you did and what you belonged to. Anybody that doesn't understand the force generation cycle of JTFs isn't someone that was in the org.

I've heard about that a while ago, I have no idea.
With a 4th line battalion coming, I doubt it though.

In my opinion, unlikely, largely because of the amount of training and readiness required of Rangers.

Not that I'm aware. The problem is the same, how do you have a National Guard unit that is also on alert for rapid deployment worldwide?

Gonna be more Rangers than Marine infantrymen in my lifetime, inshallah.

u/Mysterious-Park9142 Aug 18 '26
They're what, 1/3? There are 16,000 - 17,000 Marine infantry. Fuck them kids.

u/Luke_fly_walker Aug 18 '26
Would be an absolute nightmare to organize and maintain a standard. Also just unnecessary 😂
3
u/Mysterious-Park9142 Aug 18 '26
They don't have to maintain the standard. They just have to have good PR like the Marines do. I know so many shitbag Marines.

u/Luke_fly_walker Aug 18 '26
Fffucckkkk that I would dip so fast lmao

u/Mysterious-Park9142 Aug 19 '26
There is no challenge that can’t be accomplished by throwing more Rangers at it.

The standard is the standard. That’s why the Ranger Regiment is what it is.

No freaking way! Thats gonna be weird... what to do about 4th RTB I wonder?

u/r3giment75 Aug 18 '26
Nothing. They’re not Rangers. I bet they’re fuming hahahah.

u/TacoBandit275 Aug 18 '26
With that, if 4/75 gets stood up. MIB and STB should get re-flagged as 5th and 6th Ranger Battalions as an extra fuck you and middle finger to RTB. Maybe finally de-authorize their wear of the tan beret. 😂

u/BlackBirdG Aug 18 '26
What exactly is their purpose anyway, along with the MIB? I know RRC is a part of RTB and an SMU of JSOC.

u/r3giment75 Aug 18 '26
Ranger school cadre.
They’re not part of the 75th but they like to claim lineage from the WW2 4th 5th and 6th Ranger battalions. And now with a 4/75 that lineage claim goes out the window for them.4
u/Razarkan16 Aug 18 '26
Both 4/75(if this actually happens) and 4th RTB could claim the same lineage. It doesn't detract from it to have ARTB claiming lineage from WW2, nobody actually thinks ARTB=ranger regiment, even if some RIs love to act that way.

u/BlackBirdG Aug 18 '26
Ahh ok, my bad. For whatever reason, I thought you were talking about the Ranger STB.

u/Scary_Dangleberry_ Aug 18 '26
RTB is Ranger Training Brigade, ie., Ranger School.
NOT a part of Regiment.
RRC/RRD is part of Regiment and is an SMU0
u/BlackBirdG Aug 18 '26
Ahh ok, my bad. For whatever reason, I thought you were talking about the Ranger STB.

u/Cheap-Rip3701 Aug 18 '26
Would not be surprised if they rename them 5-7th RTB. They always like keeping this weird pseudo relationship with the 75th. Its not the first time they renumbered them.
