Who is the first commander of the 75th?

The first commander question hinges on who started the unit that the 75th Ranger Regiment ultimately trace their lineage to. In 1942, Major William O. Darby organized and led the 1st Ranger Battalion, becoming its first commander during World War II. His role as the founder and initial leader makes him the correct answer. The other names are famous generals from earlier eras (Revolutionary War and Civil War periods) and aren’t connected to the Ranger unit’s origin, so they don’t fit as the first commander.
