		Operation RANGER, the first series of atmospheric nuclear weapons tests conducted by the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) at the Nevada Proving Ground (NPG), consisted of five nuclear detonations, all of which were airdrops.
		Operation RANGER lasted from Jan. 25 through Feb. 6, 1951, and involved approximately 770 Department of Defense (DoD) participants in air support services, scientific projects, weather support, communications security, and observer activities.
		For all RANGER shots, radiation levels were similar in all directions from ground zero because the fields were from neutron activation of the soil, and all shots shared the same ground zero.

		Rangers were organized in 1756 by Major Robert Rogers, a native of New Hampshire, who recruited nine companies of American colonists to fight for the British during the French and Indian War.
		Ranger techniques and methods of operation were an inherent characteristic of the American frontiersmen; however, Major Rogers was the first to capitalize on them and incorporate them into the fighting doctrine of a permanently organized fighting force.
		Operating in the days when commanders personally recruited their men, he was articulate and persuasive, and knew his trade.

		The second led to Operation Ranger, a hastily organized test operation to collect data in preparation for Greenhouse.
		Operation Ranger carried out the first tests in the United States proper since the Trinity test in 1945.
		The Ranger test devices were mostly Mark 4 bomb designs modified to test the effects of various design parameters on yield.

		The Ranger II or large format Ranger III are medium to long range portable thermal imaging systems featuring high sensitivity mid wave sensors.
		Ranger II is rugged and environmentally sealed, making it at home in the desert, in maritime environments or in extreme cold.
		Ranger II is available as a turn-key system with an integrated pan/tilt head, or as a stand-alone sensor-head for use on your own platform or vehicle mount.

	Rangers: selected combat operations in WW II
		By 0830, the Rangers held the most important positions on the pass, and the attached 4.2-inch mortars, which had only recently arrived, were adding their fire to the bombardment of the south wall.
		The Rangers were relieved from their positions on line by the British during the morning of 29 January, and the battalion commanders met with Darby at 1800 that evening to discuss Ranger Force's field order.
		That the Rangers surprised and overran bivouacking enemy just outside the objective was probably due to a breakdown in the Germans' communications and their consequent failure to inform all their troops that the Rangers were in the area.

		The ranger regimental and battalion operations personnel ensure that the efforts of all EW units are combined to support the ground tactical plan.
		The ranger battalion is organized and trained to move quickly to the objective area by air and to be resupplied by airdrop for short periods.
		The most common engineer-type tasks needed during a ranger operation are the destruction of enemy facilities, equipment, and material by use of conventional explosives; and the interdiction of major lines of communication.

		The members, senior personnel not associated with Ranger, were to investigate the project, contrast its operation with that of the Mariner R project, and submit to him any recommendations for change by November 12.
		With adverse effects for both Ranger and Mariner R, the report continued, engineers assigned to flight projects from the technical divisions often lacked the required experience; in many instances, their section chiefs were unresponsive to the needs and directives of the project offices.
		Ranger is sufficiently complex, and its mission sufficiently demanding, that a high order of engineering skill and fabrication technology is required in its design and construction to make it work successfully." That high order, they observed, had not been achieved.

		As an example, Operation Ivy consisted of the Mike and King tests, which are known as Ivy Mike and Ivy King.
		Operation Sandstone, the first test series at Eniwetok, was scheduled to begin in April.
		Thus it is possible that initial efforts at damage control might have kept ships operating, but it is clear that vessels within a mile of an atomic bomb air burst would eventually become inoperative due to crew casualties.

		The Ranger's extensive training in airfield seizure and building clearing, along with their detailed mission plan, were key factors in their successful seizure of the Torrijos/Tocumen complex with minimal collateral damage and casualties.
		The 2nd and 3rd Battalions split the responsibility for taking and holding ground: the 2nd was to parachute into the area along the southern edge of the runway and around the PDF Barracks and engage the enemy, while the 3rd was to jump farther north, securing the area from counterattacks and clearing the runway.
		By happenstance, the company's executive officer and a few other Rangers landed within 30 feet of the entryway: they killed the PDF gunner as he was firing at the other Rangers parachuting to the ground and took possession of the fortified position.

	Radiation Exposures to the Public From the Proposed Jabiluka/Ranger Operation
		Radiation exposure to the public from the proposed Jabiluka/Ranger uranium mine development is estimated to exceed radiation exposures arising from major nuclear facilities in the UK.
		In its response to the Environmental Impact Statement from Energy Resources of Australia, Environment Australia (2) noted that radiation exposure from the combined operation of Jabiluka/Ranger to "occupants of Mudginberri is predicted to be approximately 0.25mSv, or 25% of the applicable dose limit".
		A further comparison between the expected dose from the Jabiluka/Ranger operation can be made with the radiation exposure arising from the discharges of the spent nuclear reprocessing plant at Sellafield in England (Sellafield is the largest routine discharger of radioactive waste in the world).
