Originally worn by the first U.S. Army Ranger battalions formed during World War II, it represented volunteers selected for missions that demanded extraordinary courage, endurance, and discipline. Inspired by the British Commandos, the Rangers were created in 1942 under the leadership of Major William O. Darby. The newly formed 1st Ranger Battalion trained in Scotland before proving themselves in combat during the raid on Dieppe and later earning lasting fame during the North African campaign.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-size: small; font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003eFrom the cliffs of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003ePointe du Hoc on D-Day\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);\"\u003e, where the 2nd Ranger Battalion scaled sheer cliffs under enemy fire to silence German artillery, to the brutal fighting in Italy, France, and throughout the European Theater, Army Rangers built a legacy defined by impossible missions accomplished against overwhelming odds.
