U.S. Army Rangers/Modern Warfare

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
The US Army Rangers are one of six multiplayer factions. They are also one of two playable factions in the game's campaign. They fought in Afghanistan for a while until they were transferred back to the United States to stop a Russian invasion. The Rangers' campaign is lived first through the eyes of Joseph Allen (for the levels "S.S.D.D." and "Team Player") and then James Ramirez for the rest of the US missions. Both are members of 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, and are squad-mates with key characters Sgt. Foley and Cpl. Dunn. The Rangers were under the command of General Shepherd. The Rangers wear Army Combat Uniforms (in Universal Camouflage Pattern) and plate carriers colored in "Ranger Green" instead of the normal UCP patterns.

Trivia

 * The "victory" and "defeat" themes for the Rangers are different excerpts from the same soundtrack. Both come from the "endrun" portion of the soundtrack for "Whiskey Hotel".
 * When playing as the Rangers online, the player will sometimes have a GPS, or watch attached to their arm where he can see it.
 * The player can buy a Ranger uniform for his Xbox Live Avatar for 400 Microsoft points
 * When playing sudden death game types such as Search and Destroy, when all of the Rangers have been eliminated the ending result says "U.S. Army Eliminated" instead of "Rangers Eliminated."
 * In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, there is a chance that a Ranger's randomly generated name will be "T".
 * The Rangers of Modern Warfare 3 use different outfits than their counterparts in Modern Warfare 2.
 * The Briefing for "Black Tuesday" shows that the 75th Rangers are fighting in central Manhattan alongside the 2nd Marine Division. The icon that marks their unit is a reused Modern Warfare 2 icon for the Rangers in multiplayer.
 * They are the only American faction in the Modern Warfare Trilogy not to have the majority, if not all, of the main characters who belong to the faction killed off. Paul Jackson and his team were killed in a nuclear explosion, and Delta Force lost the majority of Team Metal.
