75th Ranger Regiment ACU Units (WIP of course xD)

[Binkowski 25]

@Eizen Soldat

Thanks for the reference pictures. Really helps. Currently, without the sample MLOD's I've just done a simple retexture. Once the same MLOD's are released, I'll be more in depth with the units, I just wanted to test my new textures.

@Jason

I have three releases of US Army units in ArmA1, check them out on ArmAHolic.

@CRIONYK

Something along the lines of that. I'm hoping to get these damn near accurate and realistic for ArmA2 of course. Hopefully before Arrowhead comes out, and if I don't meet that goal. Well it'll be nice to have accurate US Army Rangers in both right?

@Eizen Sodat: TBH, of the few you can actually see their headsets, they are not sordins, but peltors mate :D

Yes they will, with BIS releasing the sample models today it's helped very much. Expect releases as soon as I get these damned bugs worked out.

Here are some Rangers outfitted with Multicam

FOR Staff Sgt. Joseph Kapacziewski, Oct. 3, 2005, began like any other day.

He was in Iraq on his fifth deployment with the 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, after serving three previous deployments to Afghanistan. But when an enemy grenade exploded next to him while on a mission, a recovery process that would last years was set into motion.

Joe had been badly injured in the blast, though his arms and legs were still intact. "For the first few months, I didn't have any use of my arm from the elbow down," he said.

It wasn't until several months after the injury that Joe realized it was his leg he should have been worried about. On March 28, 2006, doctors decided to amputate his leg.

Recovery was an uphill battle for Kapacziewski, and each day presented its own challenges. When he met Harvey Naranjo from the Wounded Warrior Project, things began to change.

"He told me he was going to get me up and running and skiing and doing all this stuff," Joe said. "I looked at him like he was half-crazy, because I couldn't even feed myself."

With each day of physical therapy, Kapacziewski grew stronger. After about six months, he was skiing in Colorado, just like Harvey said.

Joe's next big challenge was in returning to his old job, and his squad leader position with the Rangers.

"I don't like to think of it as 'returning to active duty,' because I never really left," he said. "I wanted to continue what I was doing."

Getting back in shape and becoming accustomed to doing everything with a prosthetic were Joe's first goals. In order to stay with the Rangers, Joe had to re-qualify on everything necessary to belong to the regiment.

"I had to do the Army Physical Fitness Test, a 5-mile run, a 12-mile road march with a 40-pound pack, and re-qualify on fast-roping out of helicopters," he said. "I've done five static line jumps, and I haven't had any issues with my prosthetic."

Although he ran into some initial resistance, Joe remains determined to reach his goal.

"I've been given opportunities to prove myself, and I feel that I have," he said. "I've been able to keep up with everyone, and sometimes exceed all expectations. Hopefully soon, I'll have my squad and carry on just like before."

Joe often speaks with injured Soldiers to offer them encouragement, teaching them to draw strength from their injuries.

"You've got to take it day by day, because each day it will get better," he said. "It's not an easy road. Stay positive, and don't let anyone tell you that you can't do something."

US Army PAO

I can't find any proof or captions that these following pics are of Rangers, but looking at their gear and the fact they don't have beards like most JSOC units, and they don't have tan CIRAS like most SF ODA teams I'm going to go ahead and say these guys are most likely Rangers.

@b00ce: His post relates to this thread only since it is about rangers. Not the Army 2009 units.

[Binkowski 25]

Haha... Wrong thread buddy. Try the release thread, it needs a good bump anyways. This thread is obsolete. ;)

I kindly ask a moderator to move the comment above to the aforementioned tread and delete my post.

[/backseatmoderation] :p

This project isn't finished. I'm still working on these guys. I've just been very very busy and not having enough time. But this is a project that's been WIP for awhile. I will keep posting new news, to all those who thought this project died sorry for the lack of communication. But it is not, these guys are still WIP.

[b00ce 160]

Fair enough. :)

[therev709 10]

I just came across this thread looking for any Ranger addons for Arma2. I would personally like to see a Rangers addon in multicam as there is some, while not concrete, but pretty solid evidence of Rangers wearing Multicam in theater. However, if you only release em in ACU ill still be pleased. Keep up the good work mate!

[AnimalMother92 10]

those are some really good pics. this is one of my most anticipated mods Bink.

How can we have US Infantry in Chernarus if there are no Rangers to Lead the Way? :p
