The Vietnamese Rangers | The Republic of Vietnam's Elite Light Infantry

~ THE SOUTH VIETNAMESE RANGERS VIDEO DESCRIPTION: The Rangers of the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (South Vietnam) are one of the most well known elite forces amongst the English-speaking public. While the Vietnamese Marines and Airborne are well known amongst the Vietnamese nationalist communities, the distinct black tiger logo of the Rangers on their helmets was instantly recognizable for non-Vietnamese. Like the Airborne and Marines, the Rangers were excellent infantry, taking on some of the heaviest fighting of the war. The Rangers served as the elite reserve of each ARVN Corps. As such, they were typically some of the first units to be deployed to repel intense Communist attacks which the RF/PFs or regular ARVN forces could not handle. They were also the force deployed to remote firebases, guarding the outskirts of South Vietnam. Often, the Rangers were surrounded and were forced to survive, isolated in their FSBs. However, as one of the elite branches of South Vietnam, they were trusted to hold on until relief forces could arrive. The Rangers were more ubiquitous than the Marines and Airborne, due to being scattered throughout South Vietnam. As such, almost all of the Republic of Vietnam’s battles involved the Rangers. The Rangers served reliably, and with distinction, until the last days of the war.
