Army 2nd Lt. Eric L. Munn has graduated from the U.S. Army Ranger School at Fort Benning, Columbus, Ga., with authorization to wear the Ranger Tab. A graduate of the Ranger Course is the epitome of the U.S. infantryman.

During the 61-day course, the Ranger proves that he can accomplish all required tasks during the three phases of training. The course is designed to assess and develop military skills, physical and mental endurance, stamina and confidence of the soldier to successfully accomplish small unit combat missions.

The Ranger is trained to properly sustain himself and his subordinates, and maintain equipment under difficult field conditions during simulated combat operations; develop combat functional skills for planning and conducting ground, airmobile, airborne and waterborne patrolling and survival operations.

Munn, an infantry officer, is assigned to the 25th Infantry, Schofield Barracks, Oahu, Hawaii. The lieutenant has served in the military for one year. He is the son of Kerry C. and Jane Munn of Norway.
