Michigan Army National Guard soldier, Private 1st Class Chase Cammanga, smiles during his graduation ceremony from Army ranger school on June 21, 2024.
Cammenga is the first Michigan Army National Guard soldier to complete the Ranger Team Leader Initiative (RTLI). The RTLI is a specialized training program for enlisted soldiers in the Army National Guard who aspire to attend Ranger School. This program seamlessly transitions soldiers from their initial training to the Ranger Training Assessment Course (RTAC) and then directly to Ranger School. The program scouts for top National Guard Soldiers, selecting those with the highest potential to succeed in the challenging Ranger course.
Cammenga accomplished his goals through the use of One Station Unit Training (OSUT). OSUT consolidates Basic Combat Training (BCT) and Advanced Individual Training (AIT) into a single location. This approach enables recruits to remain with the same unit and instructors throughout both phases of training, culminating in a single graduation ceremony.
