U.S. Army Rangers

The United States Army Rangers or simply Army Rangers are specialized, elite American light infantry special operations forces capable of conducting direct action operations.

US Army Rangers draw strongly on the heritage, traditions and ethos of Rogers' Rangers but have no lineage back to that unit. The current US Army Rangers, the 75th Ranger Regiment, were originally raised for the Korean War. The modern rangers can only trace their lineage directly back to the Korean War and to the ranger training course which has existed continuously since World War II.

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.

Call of Duty Series
The US Army Rangers are seen in Call of Duty 2 on single-player in the American campaign, in which your character is a member.

The US Army Rangers also make an appearance in a recently released Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer video. However it is unclear what their role will be in the game's Singleplayer Campaign.
