If you have info, please share. The main work on this OOB and these units was done over 2 decades ago and if someone doesn't complain, we don't go looking for things to fix

RE LRRP units

On 1 January 1969, under the new U.S. Army Combat Arms Regimental System (CARS), these units were redesignated "Ranger" in South Vietnam within the 75th Infantry Regiment (Ranger) and all replacement personnel were mandatory airborne qualified.[31][32] Fifteen companies of Rangers were raised from LRRP units, which had been performing missions in Europe since the early 1960s and in Vietnam since 1966

ANYONE else want's to chime in about this please do. It appears we have most of what we want but with different naming conventions but dates need tweaking
