Never Forget.

This weekend marks the anniversary of Operation Just Cause, which started on December 20, 1989, in Panama.

Rangers played a critical role from the opening moments of the operation. The 75th Ranger Regiment conducted nighttime airborne assaults, seizing key objectives including Torrijos–Tocumen International Airport and Rio Hato Airfield. These actions enabled the rapid flow of follow-on forces and set the conditions for mission success across Panama.

Operation Just Cause showcased the Regiment’s ability to deploy on short notice, conduct precision airborne operations, and fight decisively against determined resistance. The cost was real. Many were wounded and five were killed in combat.

PFC James W. Markwell
SPC Phillip S. Lear
PFC John M. Price
SSG Larry Barnard
PFC Roy D. Brown Jr.

Today, we remember the courage and sacrifice of the Rangers who answered the call during Operation Just Cause.

A good read from our Ranger Reading List:

RIP Sir.

RIP Warrior. Never forgotten.

Final Roll Call: PFC John Rufus Gaston Jr
Drafted by his nation and sent halfway around the world, PFC John Rufus Gaston Jr began his Vietnam tour on August 31, 1968—just 23 years old, carrying a rifle for A Company, 5th Battalion, 46th Infantry, 198th Light Infantry Brigade. A light-weapons infantryman from the District of Columbia, he walked the paddies and trails of Quang Ngai with the quiet determination of a soldier who answered the call without hesitation.

On November 29, 1968, only three months into his tour, Gaston was killed by a hostile explosive device during combat operations. His sacrifice—made far from home, in a place where every step could be his last—stands as a solemn reminder of the cost carried by America’s young infantrymen.

We remember him. We speak his name.

Very Sad. RIP

President Donald Trump said Thursday evening that U.S. Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, one of the two West Virginia National Guard members wounded in a "targeted shooting" near the White House on Wednesday, has died.

Remember !!

The 1st Marine Division’s breakout from the Chosin Reservoir was a defining moment, both in the Korean War and in the history of the Corps.
