Meet Chelsey Hibsch, the first woman in the United States Air Force to complete Army Ranger School.

She received her Ranger tab on Aug. 30, 2019, at the Army Ranger School graduation at Fort Benning, Georgia, after three phases of intense training in just 62 days. She has been a vocal ambassador for female presence in the U.S. military ever since.
