75th Ranger Regiment ACU Units (WIP of course xD) [Archive]

Well, those of you who know, and don't know, ArmA2 has only US Marines! No US Army units unfortunately. So I'm going to release more of my ACUPAT units for ArmA2, at first it's just going to be the 75th Ranger Regiment, maybe a later release will come with regular infantry. Not sure yet, anyway. I've been working on the textures for these, and just waiting for BIS to release the editing tools so I can really start working on the models etc.

I haven't added any patches yet, but the 75th will go here. Which is why I'll be using the tan camo, I may add the IOTV at a later point, maybe the IBA. Not sure yet.

The USMC Engineer uses the standard US Army MICH Helmet for some odd reason so a retex wouldnt look too out of place if it was on that unit.

I have noticed that the DMR unit in this game uses the ACH model helmet for some reason, not sure why.

Are you going to change the body armor? Army doesn't use the MTV. Only Marines, cause we find it acceptable to wear body armor that will decapitate us in an explosion.

Rangers don't wear the standard Army issue interceptor body armor. I'll get some pics of what they're wearing now and post it up here.

UPDATE:
RLCS (Ranger Load Carrying System) is what's currently being used. It's basically just molle in ranger green. It's alot like the MTV.

No offence, but is there any source for the switch to Multicam? This discussion was in the military forums in 2007. Soon after that, there was a statement from the US Army that the swap to another uniform isn't gonna happen. The swap would be tooo expensive.

I saw some Ranger-Multicam pics too, but they were from a FCS evaluation.

Pic2 (http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r187/Polar_Bear31st/mini-army_mil-2007-02-02-091958.jpg)

A complete uniform inclusive the Crye Multicam Chassis and the Battlebelt is priced over 3000$ for a private person. Way to expensive for the Army, even if they are an elite unit.

If you have a trustfull source, i would be pleased to read it. Would be intersting. Thanks

@<hidden>
Thanks for your affort. Look at this topic on militaryphotos.net (http://militaryphotos.net/forums/showthread.php?t=130118&highlight=ranger&page=38) . The Rangers have there own color for the 2nd Line of Gear: Ranger Green.
They wear bodyarmors from Eagle CIRAS to Eagle Chestrigs.

Would be great, if the Rangers would realy look like US Army Rangers. :cool:

Looking forward to this. Only Marines (they are good too) is just a little bit boring.

Thanks! :bounce3:

You might want to edit the force recon's instead of the standard marines. The FR's are already wearing PACA body armor, Eagle plate carriers, Comtac 2's and some more high speed gear that the rangers appear to wear sometimes...

recent picture of some rangers: http://i41.tinypic.com/531gd1.jpg

Exactly...if you changed the marpart on say, the Assault Grenadier, to acu/dcu/bdu....you could call him <insert US SOCOM> ....and by that he could be a ranger...a seal....deltaz...ussf....USAFCC....Seriously there is so much in common with equipment used, for the most part its small differences.

I think a more likely candidate over multicam would be the new AOR1/2 developed for US SOCOM.

No they don't. The USMC uses the oldest crappiest equipment that the Army hands down to them when we are done with it. Ok, that might be a bit of an exaggeration, but they most certainly do not use SCARs. Hell, they don't even use the M4 as a standard rifle, they still use the M16.

Nah that pretty much sums it up. I remember hearing about people back home whining about deploying us with out the proper equipment and all I could do was laugh. Of course Marines go into battle under-equipped! The day that changes will be a cold day in hell. ;) :o::shoot:

MARSOC is trained on SCAR, since they're part of SOCOM now. But you're right, USMC regulars definitely do not.

I don't know if the crye multicam is being used by the Rangers yet. As for the images of them using it, it was part of the future warrior program
Future Force Warrior (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_Force_Warrior)
I know some SF units use em because there allowed to wear whatever they desire (ACU, multicam, 3 camo desert, etc)

I would say, the most accurate right now would just be ACU's, with a tan plate carrier... But what would be more practical for Chenarus is BDU's. :D But regardless of what you decide to go with, I'm sure I will be playing it and loving it :D.

Instead of tan I think the ranger green CIRAS would be more accurate for them.

Btw, similar to that SOF thread of militaryphotos.net there is also a dedicated Ranger thread.

Great Binkowski, I really liked your previous addons for ArmA (hope to see them ported to ArmA 2 someday). Altough my heart's tack (hope it's the correct term) is the USMC, I'm also a big fan of Army Rangers, so I'm really happy you make them.

Blakhawkdown: repainting the MARPAT in ACU colors is not the best solution, the two has many differences, their cut is different, their pattern is slightly different, not to mention the Army uses other protecting equipment (IOTV instead of MTV, MICH helmet instead of Lightweight helmet) and that unit patches and insignias are worn by Soldiers, but not Marines. Better solution could be to port some addons from ArmA 1, Binkowski's and CameronMcDonald's units for example.

Shocking detail, there, be sure to include versions w/o the greanade launcher.

Also, i think that the SCAR should've been included in ArmA II, as it is 100% more likely to replace the M16/M4 series than the XM8 ever would have!

Rangers don't wear the standard Army issue interceptor body armor. I'll get some pics of what they're wearing now and post it up here.

UPDATE:
RLCS (Ranger Load Carrying System) is what's currently being used. It's basically just molle in ranger green. It's alot like the MTV.
RLCS PIC (http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/3340/dsc27312wq7.jpg)

Those are the MBSS - left (Maritime Ballistic Survivor System), which I believe is more commonly used by the MSOB operators (ex Force Recon) or the MEUSOC. The vest on the right is teh RRV or the Rhodesian vest which is used by Rangers alot and is a good choice to incorporate it in the game. They mostly use the RRV with MBSS backplates tho, RRV by itself is open at the back and works as a chest rig.

Also 75th Rangers as a part of Army use all ACU, but I think you want to do their mission specific gear, meaning the gear Rangers use for instance in Iraq, nowadays.

I wouldnt completely skip on multicam, I think 75th Rangers have a different pattern in works (AOR1 and AOR2(desert)?), very similiar to marine Marpat, but I would still stick to their current loadouts which look more sick than any of the overhyped multicam :p

Here is a few references to their current mission specific (Iraq) loadouts regarding teh uniform -, they mostly use ACU's or mixed - ACU pants with ORC PCU level 5 tops (all weather clothing) or they use complete ORC PCU suits (the color of PCU's is called Alpha Green). I think the PCU/ACU mix would be perfect for arma2. Dont forget painted MICH 2000 (from OD variations to CB colors) and if possible add the Petzl headlamp on their helmets. Gear liek vests are I think, like someone already said before, mainly Ranger Green and Coyote Brown (mission specific).
For boots I do not know, but I have seen alot of Asolo Fusion 95 GTX hiking shoes being used by 75th and I believe the models are already in the game, used for BLUFOR/FR/Assault Rifleman&Assault Grenadiers ingame models (or the shoes are Merrel Sawtooths, both are legit).

Here are the pics

http://www.shrani.si/t/1q/Ns/28iX9IFO/ranger3-1.jpg (http://www.shrani.si/?1q/Ns/28iX9IFO/ranger3-1.jpg)

(PIC ABOVE) You can see the ACU/ORC PCU mix, MICH 2000, arcteryx kneepads, Asolo FSN 95 gtx shoes on the guy to the left, ranger green vest (I believe it is an RRV, cant confirm tho) etc...

http://www.shrani.si/t/v/dB/1v53RZVK/2rangers.jpg (http://www.shrani.si/?v/dB/1v53RZVK/2rangers.jpg)

Similiar stuff - the guy kneeling - Merrel Sawtooths, Petzl Tactikka headlamp on MICH 2000, RRV ranger green vest with MBSS backplate and PACA armor underneath it (I think so), the guy standing has Coyote Brown gear, arcetryx kneepads etc..

http://www.shrani.si/f/3D/oK/NEMietE/hr1lpb.jpg

I think this guys are not real rangers, airsofters but still you can see the legit gear.

Please note that I am no army/gear hardcore expert, Im just trying to help out here with realism and add my observations, because I would love to see these units in arma2. I may be wrong, so feel free to correct me. Id do (try to) it myself but I have absolutely no knowledge on how to do anything of this:(

Not sure if its possible yet (may need source models?), but are you planning on placing a pistol model of some kind within the drop-leg thigh holster on those ranger models? Just a minor aesthetic feature I guess.
But I've always thought that it looked silly having a empty holster (be better to not have the holster at all?)

Nice looking ranger btw. Looking forward to more screens.

Yes I'm planning on it, but we need the sample MLOD's and we don't know when they will be released unfortunately. But yes, you can expect it in a release :bigsmile:

Slightly off-topic, but would the lack of those MLOD's impede weapon creation as well? say if someone wanted to make a M4A1 with vertical grip using the Mk48 animations.

@<hidden> Soldat
Thanks for the reference pictures. Really helps. Currently, without the sample MLOD's I've just done a simple retexture. Once the same MLOD's are released, I'll be more in depth with the units, I just wanted to test my new textures.

@<hidden>
I have three releases of US Army units in ArmA1, check them out on ArmAHolic.

@<hidden>
Something along the lines of that. I'm hoping to get these damn near accurate and realistic for ArmA2 of course. Hopefully before Arrowhead comes out, and if I don't meet that goal. Well it'll be nice to have accurate US Army Rangers in both right?

Here are some Rangers outfitted with Multicam

http://www.army.mil/-images/2009/10/27/54241/size0-army.mil-54241-2009-10-27-091056.jpg

FOR Staff Sgt. Joseph Kapacziewski, Oct. 3, 2005, began like any other day.

He was in Iraq on his fifth deployment with the 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, after serving three previous deployments to Afghanistan. But when an enemy grenade exploded next to him while on a mission, a recovery process that would last years was set into motion.

Joe had been badly injured in the blast, though his arms and legs were still intact. "For the first few months, I didn't have any use of my arm from the elbow down," he said.

It wasn't until several months after the injury that Joe realized it was his leg he should have been worried about. On March 28, 2006, doctors decided to amputate his leg.

Recovery was an uphill battle for Kapacziewski, and each day presented its own challenges. When he met Harvey Naranjo from the Wounded Warrior Project, things began to change.

"He told me he was going to get me up and running and skiing and doing all this stuff," Joe said. "I looked at him like he was half-crazy, because I couldn't even feed myself."

With each day of physical therapy, Kapacziewski grew stronger. After about six months, he was skiing in Colorado, just like Harvey said.

Joe's next big challenge was in returning to his old job, and his squad leader position with the Rangers.

"I don't like to think of it as 'returning to active duty,' because I never really left," he said. "I wanted to continue what I was doing."

Getting back in shape and becoming accustomed to doing everything with a prosthetic were Joe's first goals. In order to stay with the Rangers, Joe had to re-qualify on everything necessary to belong to the regiment.

"I had to do the Army Physical Fitness Test, a 5-mile run, a 12-mile road march with a 40-pound pack, and re-qualify on fast-roping out of helicopters," he said. "I've done five static line jumps, and I haven't had any issues with my prosthetic."

Although he ran into some initial resistance, Joe remains determined to reach his goal.

"I've been given opportunities to prove myself, and I feel that I have," he said. "I've been able to keep up with everyone, and sometimes exceed all expectations. Hopefully soon, I'll have my squad and carry on just like before."

Joe often speaks with injured Soldiers to offer them encouragement, teaching them to draw strength from their injuries.

"You've got to take it day by day, because each day it will get better," he said. "It's not an easy road. Stay positive, and don't let anyone tell you that you can't do something."

US Army PAOI can't find any proof or captions that these following pics are of Rangers, but looking at their gear and the fact they don't have beards like most JSOC units, and they don't have tan CIRAS like most SF ODA teams I'm going to go ahead and say these guys are most likely Rangers.

However, if you only release em in ACU ill still be pleased. Keep up the good work mate!

Looks great Bink!!!

The UCP cover on the helmet will stay or we can count on snake skin painting?

Also they need headsets... Good if it'll be Sordin Headset but old, good Comtac II is ok too.

And did you think about giving these guys Level 5 PCU Jackets? Not for all but for some of them - will be sweet...

And again - what about adding some more stuff on the helmet? Maybe MS-2000 and few velcros and cables. I know I'm requesting too much... ^^

BTW. Rangers wear US flag only on the right sleeve. On the left it should be only scroll (75th or 1/2/3Bn) and Ranger Tab.

Anyone have a clue how to fix that hhl problem on the guy with the short sleeved shirt? I believe it's something to do with _as map. But I could be wrong. Also, unfortunately I'll probably have to change that. Because if that unit has a camo face, the camo doesn't go up the entire arm. That'll make people whine. So, it'll probably change.

Black1ron

Jan 26 2010, 04:39

I think it looks pretty snazzy without arm camouflage. But I'm not mil-spec expert. In fact, I'm four and a half years off of joining the military (go Rangers, I'm joining them straight out of high school). But yeah, I like it without the camo. So, release plox? Hehe, take your time, Binkowski. They look beautiful.

Old pictures are old.

Bink, your guys are fine. No one camouflages their faces in the desert, and I have never see a camo-painted face since Ranger school (2004). Likewise, no one camos their arms and hands unless their sergeant major is a douche and a half and makes everyone do it so he can feel like he's still in the Army.

Old pic are new pics to some. As for the ones i post thats to just give an ideal about how there gear is, they wear more gear then your regular soldier. If you can find some more uptodate ones im sure there still be lots of gear to that person. As for the face paint useualy mask's are an facter in that, but still spec ops use fase paint as do rangers. Face paint is an option for the unit. As far as i know Rangers are an branch of the Army, so im sure that sargeant that you speak of makes them feel right at home.

Im sure that the first one is an Airborn Ranger. He would not be wearing the Airborn patch nor the Ranger patch of an Op, if he was not part of that unit. As for if he is 75rgt or 101, 82nd i dont know, if thats what your asking.

Like USRanger709 said, the first pic is an SF operator, he has a Ranger Skill Tab, not the 75th regimental unit patch, signifying that he has completed ranger school. The patch he is wearing is the SF unit patch, which is an airborne unit, hence the airborne tab.
Not trying to talk down to anyone, just trying to inform those who dont know.

So all you just did there was confirm what Ranger and I said. I said it much more vaguely, but the point is that if you've completed the req's, you can show it off (to put it in a way). Heck, I've seen troops in the basic infantry (albeit a officer) who wore his tab.

TheRev709

Feb 9 2010, 12:46

This is getting way off topic, but:

To begin, Navy SEALs, MARSOC, Rangers, Air Force Parajumpers and CCTs, Delta Force, etc. are not Special Forces. Those are all Special Operations Forces, or SOF. When talking about Special Forces in the US military, you would be referring to the US Army Special Forces (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_Army_Special_Forces), which is a specific unit of itself. All of the elite units in the US military, including Special Forces, are considered Special Operations Forces. Just a pet peave of anyone in the SF community.

This post is for the 75th Ranger Regiment (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/75th_Ranger_Regiment_(United_States)), just because a soldier is a Ranger doesn't mean their part of the 75th. The job and kit difference between a Special Forces soldier with a Ranger tab and a Ranger in the75th Regiment Regiment is as different as American and (the rest of the world) football, with the only similarity being a ball involved, or in the this case elite military units.

US Army Special Forces operate in small teams (12 man Operational Detachment Alphas) and focus on unconventional warfare (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unconventional_warfare) and counter-insurgencies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counter-insurgency).

The 75th Ranger Regiment focuses on elite light infantry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_infantry) operations.

A Ranger tab means a soldier successfully graduated from Ranger school (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranger_school), which is the best light infantry training school in the US Military (IMO). To join the Regiment, a soldier has to successfully graduate from RIP, Ranger Indoctrination Program (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ranger_Indoctrination_Program), then they go to Ranger school.

US Army Special Forces must make it into and complete the Q-Course (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_Course).

These units, their jobs, and their gear are quite different. My point is this thread is for the 75th Ranger Regiment, and just because a soldier has a Ranger tab and is an Airborne Ranger doesn't mean their a soldier in the Regiment.

I'm not arguing, but just wanted to inform and set the record straight.

@<hidden>
I understand what your saying, yes each part of the ranger groups have different jobs. All rangers are part of the Airborn squad, all go through there school to become one. There are different parts of the Airborn as you know.

What im just getting at and posting is there gear not jobs or so on. Those pics i gave just shows there gear, i was just trying to give some goods on that part so, maybe it could help out this addon. For the first pic he is an ranger. As i can back that up very well, but as i said i dont know if he is 101st,75th,82nd cause i dont know what school he came from nor i cant see that patch.
That gear in them pics is what they use. SOF get there tactics from special forces as there are many now this day in age. SOF is just an new 20th century term for special forces. Here is an like on that also from your source http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_forces Im just saying the gear in them pics are what rangers would be wearing. Im still on topic about this, its vary easy for somebody to get it off though. Im not arguing, and i agree with your words. Just was pointing out that the gear in them pics are what rangers would be useing in the fields, and a little one side camo from the MARSOC.

I understand what your saying, yes each part of the ranger groups have different jobs. All rangers are part of the Airborn squad, all go through there school to become one. There are different parts of the Airborn as you know.

One does not have to be Airborne qualified to go to Ranger school.

I don't know what an "Airborn squad" is, but "All rangers" is a very broad category.

@<hidden> - You're right about SOF being a new 20th century term, but thats because there is a unit in the Army called Special Forces, aka Green Berets, that does not apply to Rangers, SEALs, etc. Special Forces in the US military is a distinct group of soldiers that have a specific job just like the Ranger Regiment and SEALs. The 101st and 82nd are Infantry Divisions, part of the big Army, not SOF community. The guy in the first pic is an Airborne Ranger, but not part of the 75th Ranger Regiment, the unit Bink is modeling this project on, and this thread topic. I'm just pointing out that the gear you posted is not what you'll see the Ranger's (and I mean the 75th Ranger Regiment) carry with them in the field.

The gear in those pics is not what the Rangers wear, but it is similar, I'll give you that. Because they have different jobs which have different gear requirements. Both wear ACU and Multicam, but SF Wear tan Eagle Maritime (and sometimes are issued Land) CIRAS vests. (http://www.eagleindustries.com/product.php?productid=449) I'm not sure about the liberties given to the Ranger Regiment, but SF Groups, typically, are given more freedom to pick and choose their kit (my unit was). So sometimes you'll see different Eagle, Tactical Tailor, and Blackhawk chest rigs and plate carriers.

AFAIK the Regiment, like most of the Army, gotta stick to the plate carriers they're issues, which is usually an Eagle Plate Carrier and Cummerbund in Ranger Green (http://www.eagleindustries.com/product.php?productid=344&cat=49&page=1), usually over a low-vis soft armor vest. Either way, 95% of the time you'll see Rangers wearing their Ranger Green plate carrier kit, with SF wearing Tan CIRAS vests.

Different mission, different gear.

Ya different mission different gear. That be true, that pic i gave is ranger gear though. If you look vary close that vest that you talk about that is eagle plate type, he is wearing. Its just attachments to it with lots of top side gear. Thats why i post that pic. It because most missions vary so i just put in the one with most gear. All plate/vest that are in US military have attachments as we both know for different missions to be carried out. Bottom 2 pics are very nice. First one show lots of top gear in action.

@<hidden>
Yes i do think that all rangers have to go to Airborn School and thats were they come from.

That pic is an Eagle CIRAS vest in tan, not issued to the Ranger Regiment.

on another note, bink the units look great and i love the 2008 infantry you released. take your time on these, i cant wait until theyre released.
really like the guy with the PCU on, are you gonna make just specific units wearing them or are you going to make versions of every unit with and without it?

Thats a Special Forces operator, once again.

Not a Ranger from the 75th Ranger Regiment.

The tab on his helmet says "Special Forces."

Check your sources.

Lol k k ha first you say SOF is not Rangers then well.... im just mixed up with all that you say. That pic is just an point out of some tan gear, and yes Rangers of the 75th wear that gear with some tan to it. I said nothing of that pic being an 75th Ranger. Plz just stop it with this.

Thats not what I said. Read what I did say, please. Attention to detail. Rangers are not Special Forces. That pic you had was a Special Forces Operator. Rangers are considered Special Operations Forces (SOF), and so are Special Forces (SF).
You are wrong, Rangers don't wear IOTVs or IBA like the SF Operator is wearing in that picture.
If you knew it wasn't a Ranger then why post in in the 75th Rangers thread? And yes, you did say that guy as a Ranger.
I'm not a mod and thus have no authority, but clearly you are confused and causing frustration, so please I'm asking you to stop adding to it.

Anyways, read my PM.

I think its clear enough to say that USRanger709 obviously knows what he's talking about, as he been part of the SOF community himself and that he's got hardcore proof to back up everything he says.

Did you see the pic i just gave you? Its an 75th Ranger and his gear, are you saying its not an 75th ranger now? Here it is again http://img32.imageshack.us/i/rangermk46.jpg/ Those pic you are showing iv seen and yes there not all wearing the same vest as you are going about. Yes Ranger709 does know his vest ill give him that, but to say that rangers wear all green vest that are all same is not true. You even said it your self that they dont and it goes different with the mission right? So whats we getting at here?

Stop misquoting me and actually read what I typed.

Nobody argued with you on that last pic you posted, so stop causing a fight over it. In fact, I posted the same pic a few posts back.

All of those pics I posted are either Eagle PCs with or without the cummerbund, all in Ranger Green, with the exception of one soldier wearing a rig I can't identify.

This is gettin old, kid, so lets drop it. The only reason I'm even responding to you is you a) you keep misquoting me, b) you keep posting misinformation about something you have no experience with. Several people on this forum who have served within the SOF community, some even real Rangers, have tried to correct you. I don't know why you keep insisting on arguing, considering all you have are pictures and wikipedia, when I and these other guys have first had experience.

Thus far all you've contributed is misinformation and misery.

Dude, everyone respects the fact that you like Rangers and want a good addon. But your milphotos.net knowledge doesn't compete with BTDT knowledge. Have faith in the people who have experieinced it themselves to get it right. Or make your own Rangers that you think are right.

First off Ranger709 your the first one to give and bring up stuff on the wikipedia not me. There you go talking down like saying "Kid." No im an grown man and from you saying you were a Ranger does not mean that you know the low down on the New gear they wear! Yet you say you served, but you bring up the same pics as i do and so on. From your words and your buds words as he is your bud right? He says you dont have to get your wings to become an ranger but you say that you do. I find it hard to take in that he or you served! But this is not my place to say you did or dident, but just saying your an Ranger and you know it all does not say that you mite be an kid also or better yet an nurse. I have the respect to go about this, and have gave true pics on real gear that Rangers wear. You even did not know that SOF is the new tearm for the 20th century for Special Forces. I had to tell you that. You mite have people that kiss kis cause you say your this and that, i have no problem with that but when you come on and talk down to me like im an kid. Thats the problem!
