US Army Mountain Ranger Open House

us_army_ranger_open_houseYou are invited to come watch on May 29, 2010 as some of the Army's finest soldiers demonstrate the skills and professionalism of the American Ranger. Equipment used by the US Army Rangers in carrying out their mission will also be on display, including helicopters, night vision devices,  weapons, and parachutes. Visitors are able to see examples of the mountain phase of Ranger training and numerous displays. A demonstration of patrol insertion utilizing UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters is a favorite with the crowd, especially the younger visitors.

Other crowd pleasing demonstrations include rappelling, climbing, mountain rescue, hand-to-hand combat and free-fall parachute jumping (weather permitting). Prior to the Rangers in Action demonstration, the Fallen Ranger Memorial dedication ceremony is conducted by the US Mountain Ranger Association. The Annual Mountain Ranger Run held in conjunction with the open house offers the most challenging and scenic cross-country/trail course that the North Georgia Mountains can provide.
