The National Ranger Association, Inc. (501 c-3: 58-2023357) was formed in 1998 and is governed by a board of six. The Association was established to recognize distinguished members in the Ranger community and to promote the values established in the Ranger Creed. The National Ranger Association helps to raise funds to support the following three main programs/events:

  1. Best Ranger Competition

  2. Ranger Hall of Fame

  3. Distinguished Member of the Brigade

In addition, the National Ranger Association supports many other RANGER community functions and activities that are determined to preserve RANGER lineage and/or enhance community camaraderie and esprit de corps.

Mission

The National Ranger Association is dedicated to preserving the legacy, lineage, and esprit de corps of the Ranger community by upholding the values of the Ranger Creed, honoring distinguished Rangers, and supporting the traditions that unite generations of Rangers and their families.

Through the Best Ranger Competition, the Ranger Hall of Fame, and the Distinguished Member of the Brigade recognition, we celebrate excellence, sacrifice, and the enduring spirit of the Ranger Regiment.

The Best Ranger Competition is more than a test of strength, endurance, and warrior spirit—it is a testament to the commitment of an entire community.

Through the generosity of our donors, the dedication of our supporters, and the unwavering commitment of the Ranger community, we help make this extraordinary event possible. Together, we honor the legacy of those who came before us, recognize those who serve today, and inspire the Rangers of tomorrow.

Honoring Our Legacy. Supporting Our Rangers. Inspiring the Next Generation.

The National Ranger Association's mission cannot be accomplished alone. Every contribution, every partnership, and every act of support helps sustain the traditions, recognition, and events that define the Ranger community. The Best Ranger Competition would not be possible without the generosity of our donors and the support of our community. Together, we preserve a proud legacy and ensure the Ranger spirit continues for generations to come.
