You figure both the 173rd and the 82nd have their own Recon Units which may be on par with the Rangers as far as training and some may actually go through Ranger School.
Yeah, it's kind of a problem because the 173rd is only a Brigade size unit... it's not nearly as big as the 82nd.
However, the Ranger Regiment is a pretty ferocious Airborne Infantry element in their own right.
As for Recon Units, every Combat Division has a Recon unit - usually a company or platoon sized element. The 82nd, the 173rd, and the 101st all have Airborne LSRC (LRRP) Units. They are all airborne qualified, and ranger qualified, and are all good as any body from the Ranger Regiment.
The 101st LSRC unit is called "The Pathfinders" and their history goes back to WWII when they shaved their heads into Mohawks and wore war paint into battle. They're a very serious unit, and the only unit within the 101st that is authorized to wear maroon berets.
LSRC soldiers are usually guys who are good enough to get into the Ranger Regiement, and who have already served with the Regiement or are trying to get into the Regiment. Airborne soldiers in general tend to bounce around between the different Airborne units. They call it, "The Airborne Mafia".
