  • Rogers' Rangers was a company of soldiers from the Province of New Hampshire raised by Major Robert Rogers and attached to the British Army during the Seven Years' War (French and Indian War). The unit was quickly adopted into the British army as an independent ranger company. Robert Rogers trained and commanded the rapidly deployed light infantry force, which was tasked mainly with reconnaissance as well as conducting special operations against distant targets. Their tactics were built on earlier colonial precedents and were codified for the first time by Rogers as his 28 "Rules of Ranging". The tactics proved remarkably effective, so much so that the initial company was expanded into a ranging corps of more than a dozen companies (containing as many as 1,200–1,400 men at its peak). The ranger corps became the chief scouting arm of British Crown forces by the late 1750s. The British forces in America valued Rogers' Rangers for their ability to gather intelligence about the enemy. They were disbanded in 1761. Later, the company was revived as a Loyalist force during the American Revolutionary War. Nonetheless, a number of former ranger officers defected to fight for the Continental Army as rebel (Patriot) commanders. Some ex-rangers participated as rebel militiamen at the Battle of Concord Bridge. The Queen's York Rangers (1st American Regiment) of the Canadian Army, formed by Rogers and Loyalist veterans of Rogers' Rangers, claims descent from Rogers' Rangers. (en)
  • Les Rangers de Rogers sont initialement une milice provinciale du New Hampshire, aux États-Unis. Ils sont cependant rattachés à l'Armée britannique au cours de la guerre de Sept Ans et deviennent ensuite une compagnie de Rangers indépendants. L'unité a été formée par le major Robert Rogers comme une force d'infanterie rapide, essentiellement chargée de reconnaissance et de mener des opérations spéciales contre des cibles éloignées. Leur tactique, basée sur celle des compagnies qui les ont précédées et codifiée par Rogers, s'est révélée très efficace, si bien que la compagnie initiale a été élargie en un corps d'une douzaine de compagnies qui pouvait contenir un maximum de 1 400 hommes. Le Corps des Rangers est devenu la principale force d'éclairage de la Couronne britannique à la fin des années 1750. Les Britanniques les utilisaient pour rassembler des renseignement au sujet de l'ennemi. Plus tard, la compagnie a été rétablie en tant que force militaire de loyalistes pour prendre part, côté anglais, à la guerre révolutionnaire américaine. Néanmoins, certains officiers et certains rangers ont changé de camp et sont devenus des commandants patriotes, respectivement des miliciens patriotes. Ils ont pris part aux batailles de Lexington et Concord durant la Révolution américaine. Les Rangers de Rogers ont aussi formé The Queen's York Rangers de l'Armée canadienne, et les anciens combattants Loyalist des Rangers de Rogers en Ontario. (fr)

  • I Rogers- Rangers furono una compagnia indipendente di rangers coloniali aggregata all'esercito inglese durante la guerra dei sette anni (chiamata negli USA guerra franco-indiana). L'unità addestrata a tattiche non convenzionali era comandata dal maggiore Robert Rogers era una compagnia di fanteria leggera di rapido impiego con incarichi di ricognizione e conduzione di contro obiettivi in profondità. Le loro tattiche militari erano così audaci ed efficienti da farli diventare la principale unità di esplorazione dell'esercito della Corona Inglese nelle Colonie americane nel tardi anni '50 del XVIII secolo. Gli Inglesi attribuirono sempre a loro un elevato grado di efficienza nel raccogliere informazioni sul nemico. Più tardi, diversi membri dei Rangers di Rogers divennero comandanti influenti nel corso della guerra d'indipendenza americana. Numerosi ex rangers parteciparono come patrioti alla battaglia di Concord Bridge. Oggi tre formazioni militari rivendicano la loro discendenza dai Rangers di Rogers: * Il dell'esercito canadese, formato originariamente da veterani lealisti dei Rangers di Rogers, compreso lo stesso Rogers; * Il I Battaglione del 119º Artiglieria campale della Guardia nazionale del Michigan, con membri direttamente discendenti per via diretta dal distaccamento di 30 uomini di Rogers di stanza a Fort Detroit (ma le tradizioni militari seguono il reparto e non si tramandano di padre in figlio); * I Rangers dell'Esercito USA, che affermano di rifarsi alle tradizioni e alle tecniche dei Rangers di Rogers (it)
  • Рейнджеры Роджерса (англ. Rogers' Rangers) — роты вспомогательных войск британской армии, действовавшей в Северной Америке против французских колоний и их индейских союзников в годы последней франко-индейской войны. Эти подразделения лёгкой пехоты были сформировано майором для быстрого развертывания с целью рекогносцировки и проведения спецопераций диверсионного и контртеррористического характера, в частности, против индейцев, которые вели партизанскую войну против англичан. В числе прочих новобранцев Роджерс набирал личный состав среди индейцев, которые тем самым служили британской армии, не состоя в строевых войсках. Главной заслугой рейнжеров в глазах командования был сбор разведывательной информации о противнике. После войны несколько рейнджеров стали влиятельными лидерами революции и войны за независимость, а большинство остальных принимало активное участие в боевых действиях против англичан. (ru)
