In the Jessica Lynch rescue, which Ranger unit was involved?

This question tests recall of which Ranger battalion carried out the Jessica Lynch rescue. The rescue was conducted as a tight, high-risk direct-action raid to recover a U.S. soldier from a hostile environment, and the unit credited with leading that operation was the 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment. Rangers from this battalion are trained for fast, precise assaults behind enemy lines, capable of inserting quickly, clearing a targeted objective, securing the subject, and exfiltrating with minimal exposure. That combination of skills fits the mission profile of the Lynch raid, making the first battalion the best match for who carried out the operation.
