The HHC of the ranger regiment consists of 130 personnel, the majority being senior noncommissioned officers, commissioned officers, or soldiers with special skills to support the operations of the ranger battalions. Independent missions are not normally assigned to ranger platoons. (See Appendix A.) The regiment can operate as a single unit, separate battalions, or separate companies on specific missions. It includes a regimental headquarters and headquarters company and three ranger battalions.
