They served until the withdrawal of American troops.
The companies assumed the assets of the long-range patrol units, some of which had been in existence in Vietnam since 1967. Assigned to independent brigade, division, and field force units, they conducted long-range reconnaissance and exploitation operations into enemy-held and denied areas, providing valuable combat intelligence. Ranger companies, consisting of highly motivated volunteers, served with distinction in Vietnam from the Mekong Delta to the Demilitarized Zone. Thirteen served proudly in Vietnam until inactivation on August 15, 1972. Fifteen separate Ranger companies were formed from this reorganization. The 75th Infantry was reorganized once more on January 1, 1969, as a parent regiment under the Combat Arms Regimental System. With the growing United States involvement in the Vietnam War, Rangers were again called to serve their country.
