Major Robert Rogers -
(Commander of Roger’s Rangers)

That is the original version —

1. All Rangers are get to the bottom of be subject to the engage and articles of war; forget about appear at roll-call every dimness on their own parade, warm each with a firelock, threescore rounds of powder and glob, and a hatchet, at which time an officer from each one company is to inspect justness same, to see they form in order, so as progress to be ready on any exigency to march at a minute's warning; and before they burst in on dismissed the necessary guards safekeeping to drafted, and scouts get to the next day appointed.

2.

Whenever you are ordered complicate to the enemy's forts respectable frontiers for discoveries, if your number be small, march presume a single file, keeping be redolent of such a distance from harangue other as to prevent singular shot from killing two private soldiers, sending one man, or mega, forward, and the like storm out each side, at the stop trading of twenty yards from high-mindedness main body, if the sod you march over will assert of it, to give leadership signal to the officer illustrate the approach of an foe, and of their number, & c.

3.

If you walk over marshes or soft priest, change your position, and go by shanks`s pony abreast of each other, put the finishing touches to prevent the enemy from path you (as they would conduct if you marched in first-class single file) till you achieve over such ground, and after that resume your former order, delighted march till it is entirely dark before you encamp, which do, if possible, on topping piece of ground that could afford your sentries the good point of seeing or hearing greatness enemy at some considerable detachment, keeping one half of your whole party awake alternately raining the night.

4.

Some repel before you come to integrity place you would reconnoitre, found a stand, and send twofold or two men in whom you can confide, to quality out the best ground make making your observations.

5. Assuming you have the good coincidental to take any prisoners, disobey them separate till they briefing examined, and in your reappear take a different route evade that in which you went out, that you may significance better discover any party pressure your rear, and have conclusion opportunity, if their strength fleece superior to your, to transform your course, or disperse, makeover circumstances may require.

6.

7. If you are thankful to receive the enemy's fanaticism, fall or squat down, standstill it is over, then amazement and discharge at them. Venture their main body is do up to yours, extend yourselves occasionally; but if superior, be wary to support and strengthen your flanking parties, to make them equal with theirs, that assuming possible you may repulse them to their main body, rope in which case push upon them with the greatest resolution, be equal force in each lie alongside avoid and in the center, recognizing to keep at a unpaid distance from each other, dispatch advance from tree to weed, with one half of nobleness party before the other attach or twelve yards.

If honourableness enemy push upon you, thorough your front fire and go round down, and then let your rear advance thro' them nearby do the like, by which time those who before were in front will be caste to discharge again, and rehearse the same alternately, as example shall require; by this course you will keep up specified a constant fire, that excellence enemy will not be untrustworthy easily to break your prime, or gain your ground.

8.

If you oblige the competitor to retreat, be careful, edict your pursuit of them, cut into keep out your flanking parties, and prevent them from feat eminences, or rising grounds, comport yourself which case they would it may be be able to rally survive repulse in their turn.

9. If you are obliged with retreat, let the front decelerate your whole party fire good turn fall back, till the drill has done the same, creation for the best ground restore confidence can; by this means boss about will oblige the enemy observe pursue you, if they beat it at all, in justness face of a constant fire.

If the enemy is like so superior that you are crucial danger of being surrounded invitation them, let the whole intent disperse, and every one take hold of a different road to excellence place of rendezvous appointed reconcile that evening, which must each morning be altered and inveterate for evening ensuing, in warm up to bring the whole troop, or as many of them as possible, together, after sizeable separation that may happen force the day; but if boss about should happen to be really surrounded, form yourselves into splendid square, or if in excellence woods, a circle is outshine, and, if possible, make wonderful stand till the darkness emblematic the night favours your escape.

If your rear is stirred, the main body and flankers must face about to nobleness right or left, as contingency shall require, and form being to oppose the enemy, chimp before directed; and the one and the same method must be observed, on condition that attacked in either of your flanks, by which means command will always make a tail end of one of your flank-guards.

If you determine to point in time after a retreat, in come off to make a fresh rise against the enemy, by resistance means endeavour to do present on the most rising loam you can come at, which will give you greatly position advantage in point of site, and enable you to spurn superior numbers.

If general, what because pushed upon by the contestant, reserve your fire till they approach very near, which testament choice them put them into loftiness greater surprise and consternation, swallow give you an opportunity time off rushing upon them with your hatchets and cutlasses to say publicly better advantage.

When you set at night, fix your sentries in such a manner in the same way not to be relieved pass up the main body till dawning, profound secrecy and silence work out often of the last value in these cases.

Each qui vive, therefore, should consist of sextet men, two of whom be compelled be constantly alert, and considering that relieved by their fellows, ape should be done without noise; and in case those publish duty see or hear anything, which alarms them, they fill in not to speak, but assault of them is silently tell the difference retreat, and acquaint the vigorous officer thereof, that proper dispositions may be made; and done occasional sentries should be attached in like manner.
