The 2024 Best Ranger Competition, is the 40th annual celebration of this grueling competition, starring the best soldiers of the world, our United States Army, RANGERS! The Best Ranger Competition was started in 1982 after Dick Leandri found a way to honor his personal friend and Ranger legend, Lieutenant General (R) David E. Grange, Jr.
The competition has evolved over the past forty years from a competition that was originally created to salute the best two-man "buddy" team in the Ranger Department at Fort Benning, GA to today, where we determine the best two-man team from the entire United States Armed Forces.
