Student Mail

Please do not send Mail to your Ranger Student until they have provided you with their Roster Number.
Using USPS is the only way to ensure your mail is returned to the sender if your Ranger student is no longer in the course. Sending mail via other means to include UPS or FedEx is difficult for the ARTB to control. If the mail is delivered to the wrong location, the ARTB is unable to track or recoup the mailed item. Once the mailed item arrives at its destination, the ARTB has no funding available to return or forward the item.

Please do not preposition mail for your Ranger at a future phase. Only send mail to the Ranger course phase your student is currently in. There is no guarantee that your Ranger will pass their current phase or remain in the course. Students will receive mail at designated times throughout all phases of the Ranger course. Students do not have space in their ruck to store large amounts of mailed items and they are not allowed to consume mailed food products baked or purchased. Rangers are provided an opportunity at the end of each phase to conduct a refit at the local exchange. The large number of packages are overwhelming distribution centers and creating backlog.

The ARTB will be implementing a mail distribution system to transfer letter mail only between Camps (Rogers, Darby, Merrill, and Rudder). No packages will be transferred due to lack of space. Any packages arriving via USPS at the Camps after your Rangers has moved on to a different phase will be returned to the sender. Our goal is to ensure your Ranger receives your letters promptly and timely. Thank you for your continuing support and understanding!


Please use the following format to address letter mail to your Soldier:

RN: (Class - Student Number) The class number your Soldier started – Student Number will be issued to each Soldier on day 0 of the course. Both together will be the Ranger Students Roster Number (RN). Example: 03-268
