How to join the 5th Ranger Battalion Reenacting Society; All companies:



1. You must be at least 16 years of age (with signed parental permission if under 18).
2. You must be competent at following instructions from Senior Officers and NCO's. Though we're not a military organization, we do participate at many events on active bases in conjunction with active duty personnel. Also, this aspect is essential to correctly portray a WWII Ranger.
3. You must be willing to collect the needed items for your kit (your impression) in accordance to the current Table of Organization and Equipment standards and the advice of Senior Officers and NCO's.
4. You must be willing to maintain a groomed military appearance and respect for the uniform.
5. You must show proper military respect when in the company of Veterans.
6. You must demonstrate safe firearm handling skills at all times. It is preferred that you have your Hunters Safety License certification or local equivalent. (CC, FOID, or any applicable local firearms safety or ownership certification).
7. Violations of item 6 are grounds for immediate dismissal from the Unit.
8 . You are asked to maintain a high level of physical fitness, vital to portray WWII Rangers effectively. (We will often participate at events involving strenuous physical activity beyond that you may experience outside of the military).
9. Politics and Politicking are NOT encouraged. We all have our own views and opinions, none of which should come in the way of our number one goal: to portray the most accurate representation of a WWII Army Ranger of the 5th RGR BN and have fun doing it!
