What is the difference between the U.S. Army 10th Mountain Division and U.S. Army Rangers? PDF Print E-mail
Saturday, 15 May 2010 16:51
Well, the biggest difference is that the U.S. Army 10th Mountain Division is not part of U.S. Special Operations Command, meaning it is not part of the U.S. Special Operation Forces. The second biggest difference is the missions they perform and size of soldiers from the unit deployed on those missions, and subsequently the size of the support systems to sustain and/or assist them during their deployment. While the U.S. Army 10th Mountain is called in for long term battles to hold areas in mountainous regions, the U.S. Army 75th Ranger Regiment are used for smaller more intense situations where they get in and get out quickly.

How are U.S. Special Operations Forces units assigned? PDF Print E-mail
Saturday, 15 May 2010 16:45
Some of the assignments relate to the U.S. Military's Unified Combatant Commands. There are six U.S. Unifed Combatant Commands with regional responsibility. The regional responsiblity breaks down different parts of the world into sections, those sections are called AOR (Areas of Responsibility). Some U.S. SOF units are assigned to specific Unified Commands, and based on that U.S. Command's AOR reflects the part of the world that the U.S. SOF unit specializes in. However, that does not preclude a unit from being assigned to a mission or tour of duty outsite their normal AOR (example: the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan). For the complete list of U.S. Unified Combatant Commands and their websites:
  • AFRICOM - Stands for African Command and is made up of fifty three countries in Africa. It was started in 2007.
  • CENTCOM - Stands for Central Command and is made up of about twenty countries primarily in the Middle East.
  • EURCOM - Stands for European Command and is made up of fifty one countries and territories in Europe and parts of the Middle East.
  • NORTHCOM - Stands for Northern Command and is made up of primarily North America, Mexico, and parts of the Gulf of Mexico.
  • PACOM - Stands for Pacific Command and is made up of thirty six countries primarily in Asia.
  • SOUTHCOM - Stands for Southern Command and is made up of about thirty countries and territories primarily in Latin America.
