How many Ranger Companies served in Vietnam?

Ranger units in Vietnam were organized as separate, light infantry Ranger Companies rather than a single regiment, and the force expanded to meet the war’s demands for specialized direct-action raids, reconnaissance, and long-range patrols in difficult terrain. In total, thirteen Ranger Companies served in Vietnam, forming a broad, ad hoc expansion of the older Ranger lineage to provide flexible, highly trained teams across the conflict. The other numerical options don’t align with the full deployment record, which includes later activations and all the distinctive Ranger Companies that operated there over the years.
