'''Ranger Elites''' were the first known '''confirmed''' type of [[Elite]] warrior encountered by the [[UNSC]]<ref>[[Halo: The Fall of Reach]]</ref>. They had been deployed to secure a [[human]] space station and gain access to its navigational data banks in order to determine the location of human colonies during the [[Battle of Reach]]. Their helmets at the time were apparently of a different design, allowing the [[Master Chief]] to see the Rangers' faces in the encounter. There were also [[Ranger Jackals]] present at the [[Battle of Reach]]as well.

Ranger Elites have been observed at The Battle of Reach, [[Operation: FIRST STRIKE]], [[The First Battle of Earth]], the [[Battle of High Charity]], and on [[Delta Halo]]. The Rangers were also seen at the planet [[Reach]] when the Master Chief returned to the planet aboard the ''[[Ascendant Justice]]''. Thus it is possible that every ship in the Covenant has a detachment of Rangers for external security purposes.

The ''Rangers'' are apparently an entirely volunteer unit, with its members joining either for personal glory or because of ancestral duties to the unit. They are used as an expeditionary unit in limited naval engagements, deciding which are to be boarded and which destroyed.<ref>[[Halo 2 s4 Ranger Elite]]</ref>

With the Elites' [[Covenant Civil War|departure]] from the Covenant, the ''Rangers'' were replaced by the [[Jump Pack Brutes]] and [[Yanme'e|Drone]]s as the aerial ground units.
