This is the story of the American Ranger ... a long and colorful one of courage,
daring and outstanding leadership. Filmed in the swamps of Florida and in the
mountains of North Georgia, this film shows how the Infantry, Queen of Battle, is developing a new breed of fighting
man... The U.S. Army Ranger.
This
fighting man is a superb combat soldier with exceptional endurance, skilled in
the techniques of field craft, survival, jungle, air mobile, waterborne and
mountain operations. The Ranger's history dates back over 200 years to our
French and Indian Wars and to Rogers' Rangers organized in the year 1756.
