So the ones that aren't going back to their units graduate from Ranger School but there's no spot for them in the 75th. They go into this "reserve" unit and continue their training so they're up to speed and ready the day comes to move into the 75th.
But at that point you might as well have another Ranger unit. But I think this is part of the Ranger set up. 1st 2nd and 3rd brigade are part of the active strength and the 4th 5th and 6th are training Brigades. Maybe those guys can serve as backup. However, if there was the need for more Rangers they would probably just create another Regiment.
WWII had a mix of units that formed the basis of the Rangers or were incorporated into the rangers. Then in Vietnam they attached Ranger Companies to larger units to serve as LRRPs. Now I'm not sure. I believe they deploy each battalion one at a time and must swap them out after 1 year. That way one is deployed, one is ready to be deployed and then one is being trained up and having it's rosters filled. Guys that are ready to leave the service probably finish out their careers with the training battalions.
