Sunday morning, 263 soldiers tackled the Darby Queen as they prepare to transition into a new phase of Ranger School, a more than 60-day combat leadership course that is the most physically and mentally challenging the Army offers.
In that number were eight female students trying to become the first women Rangers. This is the first Ranger School class that has been open to women and 19 started a week ago. Less than half of that number, out of a class of 399, made it to the second week.
