From Wikipedia:
The United States Army Rangers or simply Army Rangers are specialized, elite American light infantry and special operations troops!.

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!. The current U!.S!. Army Rangers were originally raised for the Korean War!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
