To properly measure unit attendance and activity the 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment has a formal Attendance Policy in place. Unit members are divided into two groups, active and reserve duty. Both active and reserve duty members are considered a part of the unit/community. Leave of Absence is a modifier status only for active duty members. Members who are discharged or retired are not considered still a part of the unit/community. See the Discharge Policy.

Active duty members are the bulk of the unit membership. Attendance is logged and checked every Sunday for all unit members. Active duty members may submit Leave of Absences (LOA) or Temporary Pass Requests (TPR) for an excused absence and still remain active duty. On PERSCOM the 'Active Duty' status is noted in green. Active duty members who fail to meet the minimum attendance standard and do not file LOAs or TPRs will be swapped to reserve duty, or depending on circumstances discharged. Swapping from active to reserve duty is done through the website under the operations center. Active duty members should be attending the majority of an official campaign. For a short campaign this is 2/3, medium 3/5 and long 5/7. The off-cycle events are also done in odd numbers and are normally 3 Sunday events in length.
