shall ensure that at all times the number of officers, and the
number of enlisted members, permanently assigned to the Ranger

than 90 percent of the required manning spaces for officers, and
for enlisted members, respectively, for that brigade.
(2) In this subsection, the term "required manning spaces" means

personnel spaces for enlisted members, that are designated in Army
authorization documents as the number required to accomplish the
missions of a particular unit or organization.
(b) Training Safety Cells. - (1) The Secretary of the Army shall
establish and maintain an organizational entity known as a "safety
cell" as part of the organizational elements of the Army
responsible for conducting each of the three major phases of the

Ranger Course training shall be comprised of personnel who have
sufficient continuity and experience in that geographic area of
such training to be knowledgeable of the local conditions year-
round, including conditions of terrain, weather, water, and
climate and other conditions and the potential effect on those
conditions on Ranger student training and safety.
(2) Members of each safety cell shall be assigned in sufficient
numbers to serve as advisers to the officers in charge of the major
phase of Ranger training and shall assist those officers in making
informed daily "go" and "no-go" decisions regarding training in
light of all relevant conditions, including conditions of terrain,
weather, water, and climate and other conditions.
