I just checked and true enough there are none between the end of Korea and the end of Vietnam...... IDK why and this is the first time someone has pointed it out

On the list to investigate


EDIT...... FWIW there are LRP formations between 1967 and 1973

well the rangers were disbanded after Korea and while I have found reference to them in Vietnam no actual unit size or composition was listed. They were probably brought back in 74 and are available then in game I think
