EP-321 | 1SG Dan Ryan - Ranger School - Mountain Phase

Mentors for Military Podcast

We recently had the privilege of having access to the U.S. Army's 5th Ranger Training Battalion which teaches the mountain phase of Ranger School. For several days we not only participated in several training events, but we also had the pleasure of sitting down with some of the units finest non-commissioned officers. Dan Ryan is the First Sergeant for A Company, 5th Ranger Training Battalion, at Camp Merrill in Dahlonega, GA. He joined the U.S. Army as an infantryman and after attending one station unit training (OSUT), the combat arms version of basic training and advanced training, at Fort Benning, GA, he then went on to attend airborne school, and then Ranger Assessment and Selection Program (RASP). He has spent time in 82nd Airborne Division, 10th Mountain Division, USAEUR, and 5th RTB over year career, including 4 combat deployments.
