A Ranger Challenge
06/06/1944, D-Day.
The 5th Ranger Battalion was activated on 1 September 1943 at Camp Forrest, Tennessee. During the Battle of Normandy, the 
battalion landed on Omaha Beach along with companies A, B and C of the 2nd Ranger Battalion, where elements of the 116th 
Regiment of the 29th Infantry Division were pinned down by murderous machinegun fire and mortars from the heights above. It was 
there that the situation was so critical that General Omar Bradley was seriously considering abandoning the beachhead, instead 
of sending more men to die. And it was then and there that General Norman Cota, Assistant Division Commander of the 29th 
Infantry Division, gave the now famous order that has become the motto of the 75th Ranger Regiment: "Rangers, Lead The Way!".
The 5th Battalion Rangers broke across the sea wall and barbed wire entanglements, and up the pillbox-rimmed heights under 
intense enemy machine-gun and mortar fire and with A and B Companies of the 2nd Battalion and some elements of the 116th 
Infantry Regiment, advanced four miles (6 km) to the key town of Vierville-sur-Mer, thus opening the breach for supporting 
troops to follow up and expand the beachhead.
