WASHINGTON — The Army announced Wednesday that it is opening its storied Ranger School to all soldiers, regardless of gender.

This decision comes on the heels of the news last month that two women – Capts. Kristen Griest and Shaye Haver – had passed the school and would each earn a Ranger tab.

It was a first for female solders.

But the Ranger School class that produced the first female graduates was technically an Army experiment, launched earlier this year.
