ATRRS Course Number: PRE-RANGER
Course Website: https://www.benning.army.mil/wtc/wtc/a/pr/index.htm
Scope: The RTAC Course consists of 14 days of training. The first week
is designed to mirror the first week of Ranger School's (Benning) phase. The
second week is designed to Coach, Teach, and Mentor students during the patrol

at the US Army Ranger School. RTAC accomplishes this by assessing the Soldiers'
physical and mental capabilities, training the Soldiers on Troop Leading
Procedures, Combat Orders and Reconnaissance/Combat patrols to the same
standards conducted at the US Army Ranger School. RTAC is designed to
verify that all medical/dental and administrative paperwork is complete for
Ranger School attendance, and fix any deficiency that the Soldier may have.
Students will be required to pass the minimum Ranger Physical Fitness Test
(RPFT) of 49 push-ups, 59 sit-ups and 5 mile (release) run in 40:00 minutes or

enrollment or cancellation of enrollment of a course occurs, the first General
Officer in the Soldier's chain of command will be notified and provided the
circumstances that resulted in the decision.
