'''Ranger Indoctrination Program''' (RIP) is a 4 week course held at [[Fort Benning]], Georgia. RIP is required for E-5 and below in order to be assigned to the Ranger Regiment. For Officer O-1 and NCO E-6 and up, ROP (Ranger Orientation Program), a three week course, is required if they wish 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. Soldiers from other units attempting to transfer to the 75th Ranger Regiment also attend the course, but are less common than new soldiers.
