    I don’t think modern Rangers hold significant advantage over WWII rangers. I think they would actually be a detriment, as the WWII rangers were familiar with the technologies available in that time period.

    My first thought was Norfolk. They’ve got enough ASW assets to stop the U-boats that were decimating the convoys.

    My second thought is Wright Patterson AFB, home of the US Air Force museum. Designers get to tear apart aircraft that wouldn’t be built until after the war, but not so advanced that they exceed the nation’s ability to produce. They get turbine engines 4 years early, and figure out all the transonic effects thet kept them from breaking the sound barrier.

    Third thought is to skip straight to the endgame and try to accelerate the Manhattan project. Send them the Savannah River site.
