The best or
most
skilled members of a group.
Special Operations encompass the
use of small units in direct or
indirect military actions focused
on
strategic or operational
objectives. They require units
with
combinations of trained
specialized
personnel, equipment, and tactics
that exceed the routine
capabilities
of conventional military forces.
Special
Operations are characterized by
certain attributes that
cumulatively
distinguish them from
conventional operations. These
operations are politically
sensitive
missions where only the best
equipped and most proficient
forces must be deployed to avoid
detection
and possible mission failure
that
can result in damage to the U.
S.

RANGER
HISTORY
The history of the American Ranger
is a long and colorful one and is
a
saga of courage, daring, and
outstanding leadership. It is a
story of
men whose skills in the art of
fighting have seldom been
surpassed...
THE
EARLY RANGERS
The history of the
U.S.
Ranger did not begin with Robert
Rogers in the 1750s. Units
specifically designated as Rangers
and using Ranger tactics were
employed on the American frontier
as early as 1670. The Rangers of
Captain Benjamin Church brought
the Indian Conflict known as "King
Phillip's War" to a successful
conclusion in 1675.
Rangers were
organized in
1756 by Major Robert Rogers, a
native of New Hampshire, who
recruited
nine companies of American
colonists to fight for the British
during
the French and Indian War. Ranger
techniques and methods of
operation
were an inherent characteristic of
the American frontiersmen;
however,
Major Rogers was the first to
capitalize on them and incorporate
them
into the fighting doctrine of a
permanently organized fighting
force.
In
the
French and Indian War
(1754-1763), the famous Robert
Rogers developed
the Ranger concept to an extent
never known before. A soldier
from
boyhood, Rogers had a magnetic
personality. Operating in the
days when
commanders personally recruited
their men, he was articulate and
persuasive, and knew his trade.
He published a list of 28 common
sense
rules, and a set of standing
orders stressing operational
readiness,
security, and tactics.

"In
my opinion these are 'SOME' of
the most skilled
players in our
organization. I have
selected them for a
certain reasons based on skill,
game or team play, intelligence
and
etc. They each
contribute to the team in their
own way and
without them, the team would be
incomplete. I believe that
listed
below are the absolute best of
the
best."
