US Army Rangers 1989

A Special Forces expert recounts the major changes in organization, equipment and operational missions of the Ranger Regiment (75th Infantry), and its combat record since from the invasion of Panama through to the War on Terror.

The evolution of the Rangers'' missions in Panama, the first Gulf War, Somalia and the post 9/11 invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan, written by an expert on modern Special Forces units.

It reveals the training and organizational changes that the unit has undergone and investigates in particular how their doctrine and tactics have changed during the 14-year war in Afghanistan.

At the beginning of the war the Rangers were an elite light infantry unit of picked men tasked with short duration recon raids and securing ground behind enemy lines in support of Special Forces; they have since evolved into a special-mission unit themselves – on the cusp of being assigned to the Joint Special Operations Command.

Featuring illustrations throughout, this is the story of one of the most recognizable military forces in modern history.
