THE POSITIVE IMPACT OF SCOUT RANGERS.

The Scout Rangers, known officially as the First Scout Ranger Regiment, is a
Philippine Army Special Operations Command unit, and specializes in anti-guerrilla
warfare. The Scout Ranger Regiment was born on November 25, 1950 under the
command of former AFP Vice Chief of Staff and Defense Secretary Rafael M. Ileto.
Named after both the Alamo Scouts and the US Army Rangers, the unit was
created due to a growing need to counter the Hukbalahap Guerrillas and its
rebellion with a force trained in small unit actions. Scout Rangers played a major
role in capturing the MILF rebel camp during the all out war against the Moro
Islamic Liberation Front (MILF). With the rise of guerrilla and terrorist activities in
the Philippines, the Scout Rangers have teamed up with the Light Reaction
Battalion to take on more responsibility in internal security duties.Southeast Asia…
