Well, Ranger training is not as long or intense as AF spec ops training.
And in AF Spec Ops you could be a CCT, Pj, JTAC, or SOWT.
those are all the ratings in air force spec ops.
Air Force Spec Ops training for all ratings is about two years long, and about a 80-90% washout rate. So their training is very similar to Navy Seal training.
CCTs- elite air force combat controllers, who usually get attached to other Spec Ops on missions. They are trained to fight, call in air support, take air fields, etc.
PJs- Elite Air Force combat rescue and medics. They are trained to fight in unconventional ways, rescue downed pilots in hostile areas, preform extreme combat medicine, etc.
not going into detail about SOWT or Jtac.
Army rangers- They are Elite Airborne Infantry. ( sort of like shock troops). There training is not more than a year long. you have RIP which is 4 weeks, and Ranger school which is 61 days.
Rangers are do not do things like Seals, Green berets, AF spec ops.
Rangers operate in a more larger force, rather than small teams like the above spec ops i listed.Rangers are like I said, an Advanced infantry unit. They often act as a Quick Reaction Force for other Spec Ops, and they do do their own operations like direct action missions, and raids, etc.
To be a ranger, you can actually enlist with it as an opt.
It is called opt.40. if you get that in your contract, then this is how it would go. With opt.40, you will go to basic training, infantry training ( or whatever mos training school you have), then airborne school, then RIP. If you pass RIP, you are a ranger, and you are assigned to a ranger battalion. If you fail, you go to a regular infantry unit. Once in the battalion, you will serve in it for 6 to 12 months before you go to ranger school to take up a leadership role in the Rangers.
If you pass ranger school, you will return to your ranger battalion, and take up a leadership role.
if you fail Ranger school, you will be sent to another infantry unit.
