Eligibility notes

What RGR candidates should check.

  • GoArmy currently lists the enlisted Ranger ASVAB requirement as a TECH score of 105 or above.
  • GoArmy also says enlisted Ranger candidates must be a U.S. citizen, be eligible for a secret security clearance, and have an MOS authorized to be hired by the 75th Ranger Regiment.
  • The public Ranger page names TECH as the placement-test score label; use the score from your Army record or recruiter rather than trying to recompute it from the standard Army line-score calculator.
  • RASP is not a standalone enlistment route: GoArmy describes it as a two-phase program that tests and trains soldiers for the 75th Ranger Regiment, taken after Basic Combat Training and Advanced Individual Training.
  • RASP 1 is the enlisted track (pay grades E-1 through E-5) and runs about eight weeks — a five-week first phase followed by a three-week second phase, per GoArmy. RASP 2 is a separate three-week selection course for staff sergeants and above plus warrant officers and commissioned officers.
  • GoArmy lists meeting Army physical-fitness standards, including the Army Fitness Test, among Ranger requirements. Confirm the current RASP physical event standards with the official 75th Ranger Regiment recruiting site or your recruiter before relying on figures from third-party pages.

What ASVAB score do Army Rangers need?

GoArmy currently lists a TECH score of 105 or above for enlisted 75th Ranger Regiment candidates, plus normal Army eligibility and an authorized MOS.

What is RASP (Ranger Assessment and Selection Program)?

RASP is the Ranger Assessment and Selection Program — the program soldiers attend after Basic Combat Training and AIT to be assessed and trained for assignment to the 75th Ranger Regiment, per GoArmy. It is the gateway into the Regiment, separate from the Army's voluntary Ranger School.

What are the RASP requirements?

Per GoArmy, enlisted RASP candidates need a TECH placement score of 105 or above, U.S. citizenship, eligibility for a secret security clearance, an MOS authorized for the 75th Ranger Regiment, and must meet Army physical-fitness standards including the Army Fitness Test.

How long is RASP?

GoArmy lists RASP 1, the enlisted track, as about eight weeks total — a five-week first phase plus a three-week second phase. RASP 2, for senior NCOs and officers, is a separate three-week selection course.

What is the difference between RASP 1 and RASP 2?

RASP 1 is the roughly eight-week course for junior enlisted soldiers (pay grades E-1 through E-5). RASP 2 is a three-week selection course for staff sergeants and above, warrant officers, and commissioned officers, per GoArmy.

What GT score do you need to be an Army Ranger?

The official GoArmy Ranger page states the requirement as a TECH placement-test score of 105 or above rather than a GT score, though recruiters commonly cite a GT of about 105 as well. Use the TECH/GT figure in your Army record or ask your recruiter rather than recomputing it yourself.

Is RASP the same as Ranger School?

No. GoArmy describes RASP as the two-phase assessment and selection path for joining the 75th Ranger Regiment; Ranger School is a separate voluntary school that is needed for leadership in the Regiment.
