PREFACE

This publication contains doctrinal guidelines for the employment and training of ranger

units. The intended audience is intermediate and higher level commanders, staffs of those

headquarters, and newly assigned officers and NCOs of the ranger regiment. It is to be

used with all other published US doctrine concerning NBC operations and the climatic or

geographic influences on combat. The fundamentals apply to the employment of ranger

units on worldwide operations and across the spectrum of conflict from low to high

intensity warfare. This includes all aspects of the integrated battlefield: nuclear,

biological, and chemical. It is not intended to apply to the employment of long-range

reconnaissance patrol (LRRP) companies, even though such units carry the designation

"ranger." These LRRP companies, as well as the long-range surveillance company

(LRSC) (corps level) and the long-range surveillance detachment (LRSD) (division

level), are organized, trained, and equipped for long-range reconnaissance in enemy

territory.

The scope of this publication addresses the mission, organization, equipment,

capabilities, limitations, planning, training, operations, and logistical support of ranger

units. It describes how the ranger regiment and its subordinate battalions train, receive

taskings, plan missions, task-organize, deploy, and integrate supporting elements to
