'''Ranger Indoctrination Program''' (RIP) is a 34 week course held at [[Fort Benning]], Georgia. RIP is required for [[Specialist|E-4s]] <ref>http://www.goarmy.com/ranger/ They Army's Ranger recruiting page.</ref>and below to be assigned to the [[United States Army Rangers|75th Ranger Regiment]].

RIP is designed to prepare soldiers, many of whom have just graduated [[Recruit training|Basic Training]], [[Advanced Individual Training]] and [[United States Army Airborne School|Airborne School]] and are still considered "fresh" recruits, for assignment to the [[75th Ranger Regiment]]. Airborne-qualified soldiers from other units attempting to transfer to the 75th Ranger Regiment also attend the course, but are less common than new soldiers.
