Unless you plan to use them as Ranger qualified members of a Corps, Division, or Brigade Reconnaissance unit.
You're right, there weren't -- and the Rangers were quite pissed about it, the rumor mill said. The closest you're going to get are the NCOs and officers of the 82nd and 101st -- you're required to go to Ranger School within a year of becoming an infantry squad leader or arriving as an infantry officer at the 82nd (barring lack of available slots), and I believe the 101st has (or had at the time I was in) a similar policy.
