If females were to become apart of the Army Rangers, would they deploy as much as the males? If so, what positions do they hold doing so?

Depends on your MOS. Go talk to a recruiter, ain’t much help gonna find you here. Regiment takes most CMF MOS’s, go get what you want!

It’s safe to assume that a ranger is a ranger and yes deployed diary based on MOs, units of assignment, and the regiment tempo. Over all I say they would deploy as much as any other person in the regiment unless attached to a QRF element or rear det unit.

If you think you can make it, give it a shot. I hope you have some serious experience carrying weight or in athletics or else you're lining yourself up for a femur/hip stress fracture.

Also, females are allowed in the 75th Ranger Regiment, at least one has passed the selection so far

If you get through RASP, pass Ranger School, and are assigned to a Ranger Battalion, then your plumbing is irrelevant. You would be a Ranger, and expected to do what any other Ranger is expected to do. So, yes, you would deploy as often as your unit is flagged for deployment, and your position would be whatever the CoC decides based on the Units UMR slots.

There is no Male Rangers and Female Rangers - Just Rangers.

Of course you would deploy as much as the men. If you make it through Ranger School assigned to a Ranger Bn your a Ranger. Deployments are not based on gender

If I were deployed with female rangers I would expect the same professionalism as I would of my male counterparts. The mission is about completion with honor.

As stated females are authorized in the Ranger Regiment, deployments are for units, of course they will deploy as much. One Team, On Fight.

Who deploys more/less than others depends on a dozen factors but gender isn't one of them. Females don't deploy less/more by design. That is up to the individual and whether they are eligible to be deployed. If a female becomes pregnant she would not deploy in comparison to her male counterparts who would still be deployable during that time period. It all depends on the person. Females also aren't assigned to specific positions or billets either. The whole point of gender integration was to open jobs up to everyone who can do it and meet the standards.

If that is what you feel compelled to do then go for it. I will warn you that RASP is beyond tough and 10 pushups isn't going to cut it. Good luck.

Yes they would. Just as we have been deployed for the last 20 years in Iraq and Afghanistan.

As of 2019:

"Since the first two female graduates -- Capt. Kristen Griest and then-1st Lt. Shaye Haver -- completed Ranger training in 2015, more than 30 female Soldiers have earned their Ranger tab."

2017: https://www.armytimes.com/news/your-army/2017/01/18/this-woman-will-be-the-first-to-join-the-army-s-elite-75th-ranger-regiment/

"A female officer has completed the Army's rigorous selection process for its storied 75th Ranger Regiment and is on her way to joining a unit in the next few months, according to a spokesman for Army Special Operations Command."

Females ARE part of the Army Rangers. The Army as a whole does not care about sex when creating deployment orders, they care about units. The Rangers are not different in this respect. If a female's unit deploys, she deploys.

Female Soldiers can be rangers now. Go through the pipeline and get assigned to the ranger regiment with a ranger tab and a combat arms MOS and you are a member of the Rangers. Gender has no bearing on it, as long as you can keep up.

There are already women serving in the 75th and they’re expected to do their job in the same way any other Ranger is expected to.

Female Rangers would deploy exactly as make Rangers. They would hold the same positions as male Rangers, given equal qualifications.

End of discussion. Period.

I cannot really see it. But it is gonna happen.
However, the very exceptional women who make it through Ranger school can be very valuable on missions involving female enemy. There were times in Nam when a women could have dealt better with women and children than we did. Not that my team ever mistreated anybody but a woman searching a woman is much more respectful.
I fear with the current administration our military is gonna be prostitute by this LGBTQ woke cancer.

I can only respond from a seaman's point of view, which I don't think is too different. If you want to crew on my boat, then you will be competent in all stations and in all drills. You come aboard a SAR Motor Surf Boat knowing full well what is required and what we're about. We go out with the idea that we're coming back, but we know full well that sometimes folks don't come back; we accept that, and we train and crew with the idea Mission Complete, moor it up. If that kind of duty is not your thing, then this Coast Guard has a lot of other things that need done and you may fit better. I think so it is with Rangers, male or female, you know what is expected, you train for it. Training is a bitch, but facing the bad guess is ten time worse. Each member of the team counts on you doing your job so that at Mission Compleat we can all come home. Anything less than that is not acceptable and one my want to consider some other career path. No reflection on you. Not everyone is cut out to be a Ranger. So gender is no criteria for cutting slack in the line. Everyone heaves to keep a taut line.

That depends on their MOS. Not everyone in a Ranger Battalion / Regiment is a Combat Arms MOS. Rangers also have Army Medics (not SF Medic) assigned. They also have S1 through S4 Depts (PAc, Intel, Ops, Supply).
