Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The author, a former Ranger himself, clearly understands the subject. It is well photographed and written, and covers a broad range of subjects beyond the Regiment's weapons. However, though it was only published in 2005, one of the six chapters is entirely outdated. I refer to the Chapter on Ranger support elements. The regiment now has an organic Special Troops Battalion for its needs. When the book was published this unit did not exist. Though no fault of the author's, it does impair the books usefulness. Secondly, a few details of systems, and unit names are outdated, or slipped through with typos. For instance the author writes of Task Force 160, which has been redesignated 160th SOAR, since 1990. Overall, however it is informative and concise.

As the spearhead of the Army's special operations forces, the Rangers are involved in the most dangerous and dirty business imaginable. Often operating in dangerous, close quarters fights, Rangers require weapons and equipment that allow them to travel light, be quick on their feet, and move with the greatest of stealth. Here are the weapons that help make the Rangers one of the U.S. Army's most effective fighting units: M4s, M16s, M240B machineguns, mortars of all calibers, grenade launchers, stun and flash grenades, Kevlar body armor, night vision equipment, and more.
