On 1 February 1951, the five officers and one-hundred eighteen enlisted men of the 6th RICA departed Fort Benning by commercial train for Fort Dix, New Jersey, to complete their final overseas processing requirements before traveling to Germany. After a brief stay at Fort Dix and a much welcomed three-day pass, the 6th RICA boarded the USNS George W. Goethals at the Brooklyn Navy Yard and sailed for Germany on 7 February 1951. Landing at Bremerhaven, Germany, on 17 February 1951, the Rangers were treated to an overnight train trip, arriving at their initial home on Flak Kaserne in Kitzingen, Germany.18 As they began unpacking and settling in, they learned that they were assigned to the 1st Infantry Division (1st ID)
On 10 July, the U.S. Army ordered the deactivation of all of its Ranger companies. The Army noted that the Ranger companies were only an exercise directed by The Pentagon which was complete. The 3rd Ranger Company was deactivated on 1 August 1951 in Korea. Like many of the other Ranger units, most of the Ranger veterans were folded into the 187th Airborne Regimental Combat Team, where their airborne skills could be used. Still, Operation Tomahawk was the last airborne jump of the war
To provide manning slots for newly activated Special Forces units, all Ranger companies were inactivated in 1951, beginning with the Eighth Army Ranger Company on 28 March and ending with 6th Ranger Company on 1 December.
