Company F, 58th Infantry (Long Range Patrol), was activated during the Vietnam War as a specialized reconnaissance unit assigned to the 101st Airborne Division. Its mission centered on deep-penetration patrols, intelligence gathering, and ambush operations behind enemy lines. On 1 February 1969, Co. F was redesignated as Company L (Ranger), 75th Infantry Regiment, becoming part of the re-established Ranger companies that traced their lineage to Merrill’s Marauders of World War II. Company L, 75th Infantry (Ranger), continued its elite reconnaissance and direct action missions in Vietnam until its inactivation in 1971, leaving a legacy of valor and professionalism.
