The Ranger
Creed
Recognizing that I
volunteered as a Ranger, fully knowing the hazards of my chosen
profession, I will always endeavor to uphold the prestige, honor, and
high esprit de corps of the Rangers.
Acknowledging the fact
that a Ranger is a more elite soldier who arrives at the cutting edge
of battle by land, sea, or air, I accept the fact that as a Ranger my
country expects me to move further, faster, and fight harder than any
other soldier.
Never shall I fail my
comrades I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong,
and morally straight and I will shoulder more than my share of the
task whatever it may be, one hundred percent and then some.
Gallantly will I show the
world that I am a specially selected and well trained soldier. My
courtesy to superior officers, neatness of dress, and care of
equipment shall set the example for others to follow.
Energetically will I meet
the enemies of my country. I shall defeat them on the field of battle
for I am better trained and will fight with all my might. Surrender is
not a Ranger word. I will never leave fallen comrade to fall into the
hands of the enemy and under no circumstances will I ever embarrass my
country.
Readily will I display the
intestinal fortitude required to fight on to the Ranger objective and
complete the mission, though I be the lone survivor.
Murphy's Laws of Combat!
1. You are not a Superman
2. If it's stupid but works, it isn't stupid
3. When in doubt, empty your magazine
4. Never share a foxhole with anyone braver than you
5. Never draw fire, it irritates everyone around you
6. Never forget that your weapon was made by the lowest bidder
7. If your attack is going really well, it's an ambush
8. No plan survives the first contact intact
9. Don't look conspicuous - it draws fire (This is why aircraft carriers are called "bomb magnets")
10. If you can't remember, the claymore is pointed toward you
11. Try to look unimportant - they may be low on ammo
12. All five second grenade fuses will burn down in three seconds
13. If you are forward of your position, the artillery will fall short
14. The enemy diversion you are ignoring is the main attack
15. Recoilless rifles -aren't
16. Suppressive fire - won't
17. Friendly fire - isn't
18. If the enemy is in range, SO ARE YOU!
19. The important things are always simple
20. The simple things are always hard
21. The easy way is always mined
22. If you are short of everything except enemy, you are in combat
23. When you have secured an area, don't forget to tell the enemy
24. Anything you do can get you shot, including doing nothing
25. Teamwork is essential, it gives the enemy other people to shoot at
26. Make it too tough for the enemy to get in and you can't get out
27. Incoming fire has the right of way
28. No combat-ready unit has ever passed inspection
29. No inspection-ready unit has ever passed combat
30. Ambushes never draw the enemy, NDPs do
31. Tracers work both ways
32. Beer math is: two beers times 37 men equals 49 cases
33. Body count math is: two guerrillas plus one portable plus two pigs equals 37 enemy killed in action
34. The only thing more accurate than incoming enemy fire is incoming friendly fire
35. If you take more than your fair share of objectives, you will have more than your fair share of
objectives to take (precedent generates expectations)
36. Radios will fail as soon as you need fire support desperately
37. When both sides are convinced that they are about to lose, they're both right
38. All-weather air support does not work in bad weather
39. The bursting radius of a hand-grenade is always one foot greater than your jumping range
40. The only terrain you actually control is the terrain covered by your two feet
41. Man-portable designated equipment never says how many men
42. The law of the bayonet says the man with the bullet wins
43. REMFs are everywhere
44. Precision bombing is normally accurate within plus or minus one mile
45. Professional soldiers are predictable, but the world is full of amateurs
46. The best tank killer is another tank; therefore, tanks are always fighting each other and have no time to fight the war
47. Murphy was a grunt

US Rangers Rules for Gunfighting
1. Bring a gun. Preferably, bring at least two guns. Bring all of your friends
who have guns.
2. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap. Life is
expensive.
3. Only hits count. The only thing worse than a miss is a slow miss.
4. If your shooting stance is good, you're probably not moving fast enough nor
using cover correctly.
5. Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend. (Lateral) and
diagonal movement are preferred.)
6. If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring a long gun and a friend
with a long gun.
7. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or
tactics. They will only remember who lived.
8. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating, reloading, and running.
9. Accuracy is relative: most combat shooting standards will be more dependent
on "pucker factor" than the inherent accuracy of the gun.
10. Use a gun that works EVERY TIME. "All skill is in vain when an Angel pisses
in the flintlock of your musket."
11. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to
beat you to death with it because it is empty.
12. Always cheat; always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.
13. Have a plan.
14. Have a back-up plan, because the first one won't work.
15. Use cover or concealment as much as possible. The visible target should be
in FRONT of your gun.
16. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours.
17. Don't drop your guard.
18. Always tactical load and threat scan 360 degrees.
19. Watch their hands. Hands kill. (In God we trust. Everyone else, keep your
hands where I can see them).
20. Decide to be aggressive ENOUGH, quickly ENOUGH.
21. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get.
22. Be polite. Be professional. But have a plan to kill everyone you meet.
23. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one.
24. Your number one Option for Personal Security is a lifelong commitment to
avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.
25. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun, the caliber of which does not
start with a "4".
Sniper's Creed
1. You are one of the few remaining warriors on
the changing battlefield; you must strive to attain the demands set by
your forebears and further those boundaries once they are met.
2. Respect all soldiers and utilize your own knowledge to assist and
aid without fostering needless elitism.
3. Be inquisitive and seek out knowledge; you do not stop learning;
the sniper has nothing to learn, has nothing to live for and will
quickly die.
4. Stay at your peak of both physical and mental fitness at all times.
5. Be courageous without being impulsive determined without obstinacy
and open among closed minds.
6. Never underestimate your enemy or judge him by previous actions he
may have improved. Out-think your enemy and you will also out-live
him.
8.Remain calm and be resolved before committing to action; nobody has
less firepower than you.
9. The best rifle in the world is of no use without ammunition.
Protect your ammunition and use it wisely.
10. Remain true to the simple code of soldiery - first my rifle and
then myself.
11. Understand the battle plan fully and how your actions will affect
it .
12. Personal integrity and strength to acknowledge your limitations
are qualities, not faults.
13. Learn how many defer to rank or status, so that in the magnified
an silent world of the sniper the leader can never hide.
14. You must protect an save the lives of your comrades by effectively
removing danger and not embark on your own crusades.
15. Initiate deception and surprise are just as powerful as your
rifle; make use of them.
The Silent Soldier
a Snipers Poem by G.A.Codling
A soldier crawls along a forest floor
A match grade barrel to do his chore
Blending with the woodland scene
He leaves no trace of where he's been
A single task occupies his mind
To the outside world he is blind
One single task, one single goal
Only his mission occupies his soul
He moves into the open grass
The enemy patrol makes a searching pass
although they look, they can not see
the man moving out from a distant tree
One hour, two , three then four
He only moves a few feet more
Zero hour is getting near
He knows his target will soon appear
A single man he has been sent to kill
and on his hands this man's blood will spill
The moment is now, the target's in site
Taking up the first pressure the shoot feels right
One ounce more on the trigger sear
The bullet races away like a high speed spear
It races throw the air with a thunderous crack
There's a fountain of blood as it exits the man's back
The silence is deafening theirs not a single sound
as the shooter removes the case of the single spent round
His task now done he fades back in to the wood
His only trace is a body wear a man once stood.
Another Sniper Poem
I am the hand of God. I am the dealer of fate
From a distance, in the trees and shadows, I wait
With a round in the chamber and the bolt locked
tight
I look them in the eyes through my telescopic sight
I touch the trigger and I say goodbye
The man in my sights is about to die
He crumples like paper as the round hits his
head
I feel no pain, no regrets to be said

U.S. Army Soldiers using
Kalashnikov Assault Rifles in Iraq (and SR-47)
A small .txt-file which reports about U.S. Army
crews using confiscated Kalashnikov assault rifles as personal
weapons... Some say because of a shortage on M-16 rifles, others say
because these soldiers just prefer the AK! Read it here.
Another interesting piece of info is about the
SR-47, the special M4-variant shooting the AK's bullets from it's own
magazines! Read it here.
