Ranger Corps

Japanese: レンジャー部隊 - レンジャーぶたい
Ranger Corps
The word comes from rangers who roam the mountains and fields, and refers to guerrilla or surprise attack units. During World War II, it referred to the special attack units of the U.S. Army, and since the Kennedy administration, it has referred to special forces that have been specially trained for anti-guerrilla warfare. The Japan Ground Self-Defense Force also has ranger units in each unit. → Commando operations
