U.S. Army 1st Lt. Daniel Butler, a Paratrooper assigned to the 1st Battalion, 325th Airborne Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, graduates with the Ranger Course Class 11-19 at Fort Benning, Ga., Nov. 15, 2019. The Ranger Course is the premier leadership course in the Army and provides the most challenging, realistic training that a soldier can receive. The Ranger Course is a mentally and physically challenging school that develops functional skills directly related to units whose mission is to engage the enemy in close combat and direct fire battle. For 62 days, Ranger students train to exhaustion, pushing the limits of their minds and bodies. The course is divided into three phases (Benning, Mountain, and Swamp).
