What is the difference between the U.S. Army 10th Mountain Division and U.S. Army Rangers?

Well, the biggest difference is that the U.S. Army 10th Mountain Division is not part of U.S. Special Operations Command, meaning it is not part of the U.S. Special Operation Forces. The second biggest difference is the missions they perform and size of soldiers from the unit deployed on those missions, and subsequently the size of the support systems to sustain and/or assist them during their deployment. While the U.S. Army 10th Mountain is called in for long term battles to hold areas in mountainous regions, the U.S. Army 75th Ranger Regiment are used for smaller more intense situations where they get in and get out quickly.
