The United States Army Rangers are an elite, highly specialized light-infantry group in the United States Army. Rangers have served in recognized US Army Ranger units or have graduated from the US Army's Ranger School. While the modern Rangers were created during the Second World War, other American 'ranger' units have been used during the colonial era.
The modern Army Rangers were created in 1942 after Major General Lucian Truscott, who acted as a liaison officer with the British General Staff, submitted a proposal to General George Marshall that the United States creates a unit akin to that of the British Commandos. Since then the Army Rangers have served in World War 2, the Vietnam War, Korean War, and the Warr on Terror.
In order to effectively train Rangers, the USA has created a special Ranger School which gives harsh physical tests and trains recruits in demolition, how to survive and fight in various harsh environments.

Expert's Opinion[]
Neither group was immensely far ahead of the other in terms of weaponry. What really decided this match was that this was a special forces group vs standard infantry. The US Army Rangers had far better training, and took this match.

Battle vs. Spartan Rangers (by Greenberet69)[]
In the ruins of Moscow 8 US Army Rangers with gas masks are scouting the area looking for signs of survivors of the nuclear war, meanwhile 8 Rangers are walking through the Moscow ruins on their way back to their base.

"Careful men that stuff doesn't look safe stay away from the cracks and remember that this place is full of nuclear radiation take off your mask and your dead got it." The Ranger Captain says
"Sir yes sir!" The US Ranger soldiers reply.
The Rangers hear the US Army Rangers and go to investigate the noise thinking it's survivors. As they get to the 2nd floor they look out the windows and see the US Army Rangers
"What do you think survivors sir?" One of the Rangers ask
"No to heavily armed." The Lead Rangers replies
"What do you think sir?" Another Ranger asks
"Must be the Nazis with some new clothing to conceal themselves. Get ready to open fire on them." The Lead Ranger says

"AMBUSH!!!" The US Army Ranger captain yells
The Ranger sniper goes full auto with his VSV while the other Rangers open up with their Kalash's and Bastard's. The US Army Rangers retreat into a nearby building and return fire with M4A1's and MP5's while another Ranger heads to higher ground in the building with his SR-25. The US Army Ranger reaches the 4th floor and takes aim at the building the Rangers are in and looks for the sniper. He sees a glimpse of light and sees the Ranger sniper and takes careful aim.

However the other Rangers notice the second grenade and quickly retreat but one of the US Rangers get caught in the blast. One of the US Rangers plant a claymore at the entrance they entered the building from and rolls out the wire so he can detonate it. The Rangers arrives and the Lead Ranger sends two of his men to secure the entrance and as they enter the hallway they are met with the claymore as the US Army Ranger activates the detnator and kills the two Rangers.

Battle vs. Russian Airborne Forces (by MovieStuff65)[]
Rangers:
RAT:
"Yeah, baby. US Army Rangers since '09." the Ranger kept flirting with the girl near his main base. The rest of his squad were either checking weapons or preparing gear. "McNeil, get back to work." the leader of the squad told him. Just then, a helicopter flew over the base. "Baseplate, is there supposed a helicopter drill going on now?" ...."No, Bravo, no helicopter drills. Engage if necssary." Just then, a loud blast sounds the air as the flirting Ranger falls to the ground, a bullet in his head. "Сэр, враг занят. (Sir, enemy engaged.)" the Russian sniper said. He quickly slammed the bolt back on his SV-98 and shoots again, but he misses. The Ranger sniper sees the muzzle flash and shoots his SR-25. The bullet misses the sniper, but it ruins the scope of his rifle. "дерьмо" (Shit.) The Russian puts down his rifle and grabs his rifle, running to join up with his squad. By now, the Ranger sniper has focused his attention on the rappeling Russian. He slows down his breathing and manages to hit one, and the Russian now falls to his death. Three remaining Russian land on the ground and begin supressing fire. The leader manages to hit one Ranger in the chest, blood spraying from the wound. The lead Ranger aims his FN SCAR and releases a spray of bullets into the running sniper, who had just rejoined the rest of them. "Получить на вертолете! (Get to the chopper)" His men run back while he throws a RGO at the Rangers, and it wounds one of them. As he limps with the rest of the Rangers, he is soon shot in the head by a Russian's AK-74M. The sniper aims his own rifle and his the helicopter's engine. Then he throws an M67 grenade, killing one of the Russians. The last two Russians throw RGO's, blowing up the sniper. The Russians run into a nearby house, hiding. The leader abandons his SCAR and draws his Beretta. He searches the living room, and now walks in the kitchen. As he opens the pantry door, a Russian leaps out of the pantry and tries a shot with MP-443 Grach. The bullet misses, and the Ranger quickly slams the barrel of his Beretta into his head, knocking him back. He then gets an idea. He shoots the air, and the Russian leader walks in and empties his MP-443 into...his comrade. The Russian draws his Scout Knife as the Ranger drops the Russian body. He draws his own FS knife and a short dual begins. The Ranger tries a thrust, but the Russian deflects it and thrusts the Scout knife into his leg. The Rangers screams in pain as he kicks the Russian back. He then plunges his knife into his chest, killing him. The Ranger raises his bloody knife and shouts "Rangers lead the way!!"
WINNER: US Army Rangers

Battle vs. Pakistan Rangers (by ILoveBattles)[]
5 US Rangers arrive about 100 feet from sight distance of the Pakistani lookout, due to the sandstorm brewing up. The Pakistani lookout holds a G3 Rifle, loaded and ready to fire. “Alright, remember, these are the best they have, so don’t go guns blazing like an idiot.” The Rangers commander says to his squad members. They all respond with quick ‘Yes sir’s’ and ‘Copy that’s’. The Rangers don’t notice the lookout, who aims his G3 at a Ranger and fires 2 shots. They both connect, mortally wounding the US soldier. He lets out a small grunt before falling, unresponsive.
“Holy shit!, Get down!” The Ranger Sergeant yells to his team. They all oblige, falling to their stomachs to hide in the sandstorm. A Ranger crawls to the downed soldier, and confirms their comrade’s death. “Fuck, he’s dead.” The soldiers says. “We’ll get his body on the way back. Although I can’t see shit out here. Move up, but stay low.” The Ranger Sergeant says to his group.
The Rangers are able to make some progress, but the lookout sees them again and fires some shots, but misses all 3. The Rangers get behind some vehicles from the Pakistani and slip into the base. As the commander enters as the last, the fires 3 shots with his SCAR, killing the lookout sniper.
“Fan out!, confuse them!” The Sergeant yells out to his men. The Pakistani Rangers set up their defenses, while one Ranger set up his M249, and lays down covering fire, but he ends up shooting a Pakistani anyway 4 times in the chest. The 3 remaining Pakistani fall back into the buildings.
The Pakistani commander fires bursts of fire at the Rangers, each of them crouching behind sandbags. One Ranger peeks his head out to check where the Pakistani are, but another Pakistani soldier fires his AUG at his head, killing the Ranger. “Damn you to hell, you muslim piece of shit!” The Ranger commander yells to the Pakistani squad.
The Pakistani simply respond by firing an RPG shot, blowing up the sandbags and the Rangers cover. The Rangers are left helpless, and stand out in the open. The Pakistani soldiers fire at them, and one connects 2 bullets from his Glock to a Ranger’s chest. He falls forward, clutching his chest. “These motherfuckers keep picking us off!” A Ranger yells out. The Ranger commander and the LMG soldier find a building to hide behind, and a Pakistani soldier slowly creeps up with his machete. He slashes at the Ranger commander, but he catches his arm quickly. He kicks his leg and they both run. The Ranger commander fires his SCAR and hits the Pakistani on the ground. “Deserve it, piece of shit.” He mutters to himself.
The two remaining Pakistani see their dead friend on the ground and decide to flank the two Rangers. One Pakistani fires his MG3 and mortally wounds the LMG Ranger, while the commander sets a C4 trap on the building. He tries to save the fallen Rangers body, but he can’t as he dives away and sets off the C4. It blows one of the Pakistani soldier’s legs off, and within a matter of seconds, he bleeds out and dies. “Holy shit…” He whispers.
The Pakistani commander was affected by the C4 blast also, with a piece of shrapnel in his side. He gets up, grabbing his machete. He chargers the Ranger commander and slashes at him with the machete. He lifts up both of his arms, preparing to come down with a killing blow, the Ranger dives at his stomach, causing him to drop his weapon. The Pakistani throws him off of him, but as he tries to get up, The Ranger takes out his Gerber knife and stabs him in the stomach.
The Pakistani crawls onto the sandbags, but the Ranger prepares his Nighthawk 1911 and presses it up against his head. “Rangers lead the way, asshole.” The Ranger said before he planted a bullet in his skull, killing the final Pakistani.

Battle vs. Korean People's Army Special Operation Force (by Deathblade 100)[]
The Korean Peninsula, 20xx
NKSOF: 
USAR: 
The creaking of rusted hinges fills the air as a lone US Ranger looks up at his captor, face bloodied. In the background, he could see the bodies of the last of his unit members and the leader of the North Korean unit that was holding this damned facility. The sound of a pistol hammer cocking brought his attention back to the North Korean officer standing in front of him; the Ranger's gaze drifting to the muzzle of the North Korean's Type 68 Tokarev. "너는 아직 죽지 않았기 때문에 운이 좋았다고 생각해야한다. (You should consider yourself lucky you aren't dead yet)" the North Korean snarled.
Outside the facility
Four US Rangers head towards the old facility; every once in a while, stopping to listen for any movement. The commander of the unit turned to the rest of his unit and gestured for his sniper to keep watch while the rest of the unit moved into the facility. As the sniper set up his M24, a glint of light caught his eye. Zeroing his rifle, he spots a North Korean PSL scanning the perimetre. The Ranger pulled the trigger of his M24 sending a single 7.62mm NATO round towards the North Korean. The round narrowly misses the North Korean sniper, hitting the North Korean's spotter in the chest. As the Ranger hastily rechambers his rifle, a shot from the PSL hits the tree next to the Ranger forcing him to move for cover.
The rest of the Rangers move into the facility until one treads on a PMD box mine; the blast blowing his leg off. Two North Koreans rush out of the facility firing their Type 88-2 Assault Rifles; one fitted with its 100 round helical magazine. The Rangers return fire with their SCARs; scoring a hit on one of the two North Koreans. As one of the Rangers continues to lay down fire, the other attempts to rescue his wounded colleague. As he reaches the wounded Ranger, the PSL fires twice killing both Rangers.
The North Korean sniper sets the crosshairs on the third Ranger currently engaging his ally before the Ranger sniper fires; scoring a hit on the North Korean's head. The North Korean on the outside of the facility, fire several shots from his Type 88-2 before withdrawing. The two Rangers on the outside enter the facility in pursuit.
The US Sniper draws his M9 and begins to set up a Claymore. A North Korean exits a corridor, firing his Type 88-2. A Ranger rolls to the side as the US sniper detonates the Claymore, tearing the North Korean to pieces. As the two Rangers enter the lower levels, the whisp of a bullet fills the air and the US sniper slumps to the ground; blood on the opposite wall. The second Ranger fires his SCAR and fires at the North Korean commander. Heading further down the stairs, the Ranger finds his objective; the missing Ranger commander, tied to a chair. As he unties him, the North Korean commander picks up a Type 88-2 and opens fire, injuring the second Ranger with two shots in the abdomen. The released Ranger grabs his colleague's SCAR and return fire. The North Korean drops his Type 88-2 and rushes the Ranger, kicking at the Ranger's head. The Ranger ducks and, slamming the butt of the SCAR into the NKSOF leader's head, flings him to the ground. The dazed NKSOF fighter looks, bleary eyed, at the Ranger's face before sluggishly trying to sweep the Ranger's legs from under him. Stepping back out of range, the Ranger aims and quips "I've already said this once, and I'll say it again. You mess with the best. You die like the rest." before firing. The Ranger lowers the SCAR and yells "Rangers lead the way!", before noticing his colleague cough blood and lie ominously still.
Walking over to the dead Ranger, the Ranger leader collects his dog tags, and sadly says "Sorry man." before picking heading over to find a radio for assistance.
Expert's Opinion[]
Well, this rematch of Deadliest Warrior ended the same way the show did. Despite a change in weapons (mostly) and a lack of American bias, the NKSOF still lost. This is mostly because of the fact the NKSOF have less experience on terrain outside of the Korean Peninsula and, despite technological advancements, are still utilising Cold War weaponry from the 1970s, which the Rangers easily countered. Despite the better Assault Rifle and Sniper, the NKSOF still chalked up their fourth defeat in a row.
