5th Ranger Training Battalion Heritage
The 5th Ranger Training Battalion (RTB) is responsible for conducting the Mountain Phase of the U.S. Army Ranger School at Camp Frank D. Merrill in Dahlonega, Georgia. This phase is widely considered the most physically demanding portion of the 61-day Ranger Course, where students learn mountain warfare tactics, military mountaineering, and small unit operations in rugged terrain.
Mountain Phase Mission
The 5th RTB instructors, known as Ranger Instructors (RIs), are mountain warfare experts who teach students to conduct combat operations in mountainous terrain. During the 21-day Mountain Phase, Ranger students learn knot tying, rappelling, rope bridge construction, and mountain mobility techniques while conducting continuous combat patrols in the North Georgia mountains. The phase culminates with a grueling field training exercise that tests students' leadership, tactical proficiency, and physical endurance at high elevation.
Training in the Mountains
Ranger Instructors of the 5th RTB maintain the highest standards of mountain warfare training, ensuring that Ranger School graduates are prepared to lead combat operations in any terrain. The Mountain Phase is legendary for its physical demands, sleep deprivation, and challenging environment that pushes students to their absolute limits while developing the mental toughness required of Ranger-qualified leaders.
