Ranger heritage has always been based on courage, daring, and deeds of men who sacrificed personal safety for their fellow Rangers and the defense of their country. Captain Benjamin Church raised an independent Ranger Company to fight the Indians during the King Phillip’s War in 1675 and is credited as the Father of the American Rangers. The capstone to his success against the Indians occurred when his unit captured and killed the Indian chief, King Phillip, thus ending the war. In 1756, Major Robert Rogers organized and trained nine companies of American colonists who fought during the French and Indian War. The nineteen standing orders used by "Rogers' Rangers" are still followed today. The Ranger tradition continued in the American Revolution with "Morgan's Riflemen" and "Marion's Partisans." Both units used hit and run tactics and expert marksmanship to harass the British. These early Ranger tactics were continued by "Mosby's Raiders", who wreaked havoc behind enemy lines during the Civil War. Thorough reconnaissance and violent aggressive action marked the success of Ranger operations. Ranger Battalions were first formed during World War II to conduct commando raids and spearhead combat operations.

    Winter, 2015 Dear Ranger Family and Friends, This Has Been a Busy Fall

    Winter, 2015 Dear Ranger Family and Friends, This has been a busy fall for the newly elected Board! The elected members at the September General Meeting were: President- Karla Merritt, Vice President- Sandy Boyd, Treasurer– David Williams, Secretary– Andrea Buchanan and Member At Large – Nancy Taube. In November, for personal reasons, Karla Merritt resigned as President. In her absence, the Vice President has been acting President. Work has continued by the Board. The most notable actions have been: The 2016 Reunion in Tampa has been cancelled. Our next Reunion will be in 2017, when we celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the Rangers. David Williams is the Chairman of the History Committee, and has members representing each Ranger Battalion. Nancy Taube is Chairman of the Membership Committee, and is hard at work. As part of the work of that Committee, the dues for Active members have been raised to $35 per year. Dues have been the same for 15 years, and the cost of running the Descendants organization has gone up. Stay tuned for a new category of membership for youth! Ron Hudnell is Chairman of the Memorial Committee. As such, he has proposed changes to the landscaping around the Ranger Memorial at Sacrifice Field at Ft. Benning. The Board is in the process of determining the timing of that project. Finances have been put into budget categories, and a spreadsheet will make it easier to account for our transactions and planning. We welcome your ideas to make Descendants a vibrant and interesting organization. Encouraging our children and grandchildren to become members and to learn about the fascinating exploits of our Ranger fathers, grandfathers, uncles and other relatives will make history come alive for them.
