Welcome. Is there a difference in roles between the Irish and US rangers? Are they pretty much the same type of elite batalion or company size commando strike unit?

They're actually different now, from organization, training and missions. As the term "commando" is defined across the pond, the ARW moved from that and went more towards an Anti-terrorisim role in the 80s, and that's pretty much where they have stayed.

I've gotten to work with them before, good guys and they're not too bad. They train with a lot of different units from USSOCOM, and European units like SAS/SBS, GIGN, SASR, etc.

Unlike US SOF though, they allow females, but last I heard none had actually tried to go through the course. That was about 2/3 years ago, though.
