After three tries, the three women remaining in the Army's gender-integrated assessment of Ranger School have successfully completed the Darby Phase, officials said Friday.

The women, along with 158 male classmates, will be moving on to the Mountain Phase Saturday in Dahlonega, Georgia.

A total of 362 men and three women started the two-month Ranger School June 21 at Fort Benning, Georgia. Fifteen of those students did not successfully complete the Darby Phase and will be dropped from the course, officials said.

The women had attempted the Darby Phase twice before. They were offered Day One Recycles after their second failed attempt.

On average, about 45 percent of Ranger School students will graduate from the grueling course.

It is dependant on the student. I have seen some do that and some have not. It isn't necessarily out of the norm.

Did men receive the same opportunity or were they given preferential treatment?
