New capability

Four Ranger Battalions and the Joint Counter Terrorist Training and Advisory Team (JCTTAT) will provide the foundation for the Army Special Operations Brigade.

The Ranger Battalions will consist of All Arms Regular and Reserve volunteers who are carefully screened, assessed, selected and then professionally educated and trained prior to deploying on operations.
