Ranger Assessment And Selection Program 1 (RASP 1) History Practice Exam

Which WWII operational legacy do modern Rangers explicitly maintain?

The Cruiser tank doctrine The Ranger Infantry Battalions’ lineage and ethos Naval amphibious doctrine Strategic air command

Correct Answer:

The Ranger Infantry Battalions’ lineage and ethos

Explanation:

Modern Rangers explicitly maintain the lineage and ethos of the Ranger Infantry Battalions from World War II. The WWII Ranger units established a distinctive identity—light, highly mobile infantry capable of bold, direct-action raids and rapid assaults. That heritage is preserved in today’s force through formal lineage and honors tied to the Ranger units, and through the enduring Ranger ethos—initiative, aggressiveness, and a relentless drive to lead the fight. Training and selection continually reinforce this identity, so the fighting spirit and standards set by the WWII Rangers remain central to how modern Rangers operate. The other options point to doctrines or commands outside the Ranger tradition.
