The Army Special Operations Brigade (ASOB) and the Land Special Operations Training Centre (LSOTC) will aim to deliver regular Insight Days. These are designed to help personnel understand life in a Ranger Battalion, explain what the RAC consists of and how individuals can best prepare.

The RAC is an opportunity for the individual to demonstrate they posses the unique set of skills required for service in one of the Ranger Bns. It is a two-week continuous period which incorporates mentally and physically challenging scenarios. The pinnacle is a 100km patrol as team, reacting to the evolving situation whilst embedded in a partner focused scenario.
The purpose of the RAC is for the candidate to show they have the required skills, whilst also demonstrating potential operations.
On passing the RAC candidates will be invited to attend an ‘All Arms Ranger Course’
Having proven their skills during the AARC, candidates will be taught skills unique to Army Special Operations and will finish the course able to deploy across the globe in support of partners
Having passed both the RAC and the AARC candidates will be viable to be selected into one of the four Ranger Bns.
