75th Ranger Regiment Combat Jumps.

Did you know that the Rangers have conducted several combat jumps during the war on terror?  I had in passing seen gold stars on jump wings and figured they were at Tora Bora. 

Ok, awesome. 

I get that.

What I didn't know is that they had conducted several other "listed" jumps in addition.

Like I said previously.  These are the acknowledged combat jumps.  The after action of these wars is going to make for some fantastic reading.  Its going to be interesting to see the modifications to uniforms that are going to come once this stuff comes in out of the dark.
