    Who can you talk to or tell about Ranger Operations?

    • Enemies

    • Allies

    • Any USDF personnel

    • No one

    Correct Answer
    A. No one
    Explanation
    Ranger Operations are typically classified and sensitive information that should not be disclosed to anyone, including enemies, allies, or even other USDF personnel. It is crucial to maintain strict confidentiality to ensure the success and safety of the operations. Revealing such information can compromise the mission, endanger lives, and undermine the effectiveness of the operations. Therefore, the correct answer is "No one."

    Operations Security can be as little as your first name?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Operations Security (OPSEC) is a process that involves identifying and protecting sensitive information about an individual or organization. In some cases, the first name of a person can be considered sensitive information, especially if it is linked to other personal details. Therefore, it is possible for Operations Security to involve protecting something as simple as a person's first name.

    Correct Answer
    A. Platoon Leader
    Explanation
    The Platoon Leader is in command of the Platoon Staff. They are responsible for leading and directing the platoon's operations, making tactical decisions, and ensuring the overall effectiveness and success of the platoon. The Platoon Leader holds a higher rank and has more authority than the Platoon Officer, Squad leader, and RRXO, making them the most suitable candidate to be in command.

    • Chief Legislation Officer

    Correct Answer
    A. Ranger Regiment Staff
    Explanation
    If the Ranger (not RRCO, RRXO, or CO General) calls an operation on an Allie, you would report it to the Ranger Regiment Staff. This is because the Ranger Regiment Staff is responsible for overseeing and coordinating the operations of the Ranger Regiment. They would need to be informed about any actions or decisions made by the Ranger in order to ensure proper communication and coordination within the regiment.

    In a Ranger Regiment, the primary leadership role is the Commanding Officer (CO). This position involves overseeing the regiment's operations, personnel, and strategic direction. The Commanding Officer is responsible for the effective functioning and leadership of the regiment, making key decisions and guiding its activities.

    Explanation
    The Ranger Regiment Commanding Officer, Ranger Regiment Executive Officer, and Commanding General, SOCOM can all call a Ranger Operation. These individuals hold positions of authority within the Ranger Regiment and the Special Operations Command, giving them the power to initiate and oversee Ranger operations. The answer options "Any Directorate" and "Director of Army Warfare" are not mentioned as individuals who can call a Ranger Operation, so they are not correct.

This information is restricted and protected by strict protocols to prevent unauthorized access and dissemination.
