The army has proposed disbanding a special counterinsurgency unit known as the Scout Rangers because many of its members supported the military uprising this month.

Black has always represented the Scout Ranger and is exemplified in their battlecry: Life for the Rangers, Death to the enemy.

New army units were also established, such was the first Airborne Unit, the Scout Rangers, the Canine Unit, and the Cavalry Unit.

The following are subordinate battalions and companies of the 1st Scout Rangers.

As they marched, carrying their weapons, bandoliers of bullets still strapped across their chests, the troops of the Scout Rangers sang their battalion song.

The Scout Rangers involved in today's firefight were trained by American advisers.

Like the Scout Rangers, members of the Special Forces Regiment of the Philippine Army are also highly trained in the art of counter-insurgency operations.

The Scout Rangers, who have received training from the American forces in target shooting and the use of specialized equipment, are not rescue specialists.

Members can become a Scout Ranger and earn a patch.
