The first Rangers in the New World arose during the on and off conflicts from 1675 to 1715 between the colonists and the natives. The first of these conflicts is referred to as King Philip’s War, which raged on in New England for several years. These Rangers were just colonists and frontiersmen that employed new small unit?style tactics by gathering in small groups and patrolling the forests and mountains between settlements and forts. Captain Benjamin Church is considered by many to be the first true Ranger. He gathered a troop of men attracted to the danger and hardship, which also included friendly natives for tracking and scouting, bringing this conflict to a successful conclusion in 1678.
