==Roles and operations== | ==Roles and operations== | ||
UNSC Army Rangers traditionally serve as long-range scouts, deploying [[sniper]] teams to observe the enemy and place sensors behind enemy lines to provide intelligence to allied forces, overall aiding the efforts of the [[United Nations Space Command]]. Rangers also specialize in long-term counterinsurgency operations and organizing resistance groups on occupied worlds, a role that became their primary duty during the [[Human-Covenant War]]. | UNSC Army Rangers traditionally serve as long-range scouts, deploying [[sniper]] teams to observe the enemy and place sensors behind enemy lines to provide intelligence to allied forces, overall aiding the efforts of the [[United Nations Space Command]].

The Rangers work closely with [[Spartan Operations]] to defend [[human]] settlements from local criminal elements, [[Piracy|pirate]] or mercenary raiders, and often rely on their knowledge of the terrain when conducting deep strikes into enemy staging areas.<ref name=OSFM134/> Prior to the establishment of [[Spartans]], the highly advanced [[Delta-6 Division]] exclusively recruited from Rangers, [[ONI]] deploying them on assignments well outside the capacity of conventional warfighters.{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=61}} | |||

However, this task was made difficult by the Covenant's ruthless and indiscriminate attacks, particularly due to the Covenant's reluctance to take and hold ground when it could simply glass targets from orbit. Nevertheless, Ranger [[sniper]] and guerrilla teams ensured Covenant armies were dealt heavy casualties during their occupation.<ref name=OSFM134/> | ||
Following the Covenant War, the Rangers have transitioned back to their traditional duties, serving to aid the broader efforts of the [[United Nations Space Command]]. In the [[Post-Covenant War conflicts|conflicts]] following the war, Rangers continue to defend colonies from raiders and criminal elements. | Following the Covenant War, the Rangers have transitioned back to their traditional duties, serving to aid the broader efforts of the [[United Nations Space Command]].
