Ranger Visual Identification

The United States Army Rangers or simply Army Rangers are specialized, elite American light infantry special operations forces capable of conducting direct action operations.

History

US Army Rangers draw strongly on the heritage, traditions and ethos of Rogers' Rangers but have no lineage back to that unit. American light infantry units called rangers were raised for, and disbanded after, the French and Indian Wars, the American Revolution (for both sides), the American Civil War (for both sides) and World War II.

In 1942, the American Army decided that they needed an elite unit like the British commandos. The Rangers had intense training, with live ammo, long hikes, and other hard exercises. One of the most famous Ranger operations was the Pointe du Hoc raid on June 6, 1944. The Rangers were sent to attack Pointe du Hoc, which was an artillery battery with six 155mm cannons with a range of 25,000 yards. These guns could shoot at both Utah and Omaha beaches, which would have really messed up the Allied invasion (even more so). The guns had been moved but they were found and destroyed.

Tactics

• Rangers can only be used with the Infantry Doctrine.
• Rangers are special infantry units that can handle many threats.
• The Bazooka is the worst infantry anti-tank weapon, it has low penetration and high scatter.
• An effective way to use the Rangers' Bazooka is to go close to the enemy tanks, fire up and hit the Tank in its weaker rear armor.
• The Thompson Submachine Gun is a very good weapon upgrade. Rangers upgraded with the Thompson can quickly demolish any infantry squad they engage at close range.
• Rangers can not pick up enemy weapons (Panzerschrecks, MG42 LMG, Bazooka etc.) if upgraded with Thompson SMGs.
• Build a Triage Center to keep your Rangers in full health.
• Fire Up can be used to overcome suppression and flank around the enemy.
• Grenades are purchasable, and the Ranger grenades are the same kind employed by Rifle Squads.
