Congratulations to EWU Fighting Eagles Battalion alumnus, Second Lieutenant (2LT) Andreas Brazier for successfully completing the rigorous U.S. Army Ranger School! 2LT Andreas said he has been reading, thinking and dreaming about becoming a Ranger since 2001 and we are proud of him for making it happen. This school has less than a 40% passing rate and takes true grit, leadership and tactical skills to earn the distinction of being an Army Ranger.
Ranger School is one of the toughest training courses for which a Soldier can volunteer. Army Rangers are experts in leading Soldiers on difficult tactical missions. Achieving this level of expertise requires rigorous training. For more than two months, Ranger students train to exhaustion, pushing the limits of both their minds and bodies.
