Rangers Lead The Way...
The Rangers are specialized infantry units of the
United States Army. Rangers are given much tougher training than other
infantrymen. The Rangers were organized in 1942, during World War II,
under the leadership of Colonel William O. Darby. The first regiment
of 2,000 men were formed in Great Britain. It consisted of volunteers
from the American Commando School. About 9 out of 10 of the first
regiment lost their lives opening up enemy defenses before invasions.
The mission of the Rangers is to plan
and conduct special military operations in support of United States
policy and objectives. This mission is accomplished by strike, light
infantry, and special military operations against targets, and under
conditions which require the unique capabilities of the unit. Targets
include strategic, significant tactical value, and extremely time
sensitive or of a critical nature. Operational conditions require
Rangers to be highly trained, highly deployable, flexible, and totally
reliable.
