Rogers Rangers French
Who are these guys? (Civil War Question, Need For Project)?
There was a group of men back in the Civil War who apparently were a Union Calvary unit that used Guerilla tactics with spencer repeating rifles on horseback to raise all kinds of hell in the south behind enemy lines. The way my father remembers it, they were from New Hampshire, and they weren't connected to Sherman. However, he wrongly identified them as Roger's Rangers, who are actually a British unit that served in the French and Indian War. So who are these guys?

| | Robert Rogers (Soldier) $86.03 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Robert Rogers (7 November 1731 18 May 1795) was an American colonial frontiersman. Rogers served in the British army during both the French and Indian War and the American Revolution. During the French and Indian War Rogers raised and commanded the famous Rogers Rangers. Robert Rogers was born to James and Mary McFatridge Rogers on 7 November 1731, in Methuen, a small town in northeastern Massachusetts. At that time, the town served as a staging point for UlsterScots settlers bound for the untamed wilderness of New Hampshire. In 1739, when Robert was eight years old, his family relocated to the Great Meadow district of New Hampshire near presentday Concord, where James, an Irish immigrant, founded a settlement on 2,190 acres (8.9 km2) of land, which he called Munterloney after a hilly place in Derry, Ireland. Robert referred to this childhood residence as Mountalona. It was later renamed Dunbarton, New Hampshire. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

Rogers Rangers
Did the US really have the first special Operations unit in the world?
it says here that American Ranger history predates the Revolutionary War. Captain Benjamin Church formed Church's Rangers, which fought hostile Native American tribes during King Philip's War.[1] Major Robert Rogers formed a Ranger unit to fight during the French and Indian War. They would become known as the "Rogers' Rangers." The Continental Congress formed eight companies of expert riflemen in 1775 to fight in the Revolutionary War. In 1777, this force of hardy frontiersmen commanded by Dan Morgan was known as The Corps of Rangers. Francis Marion, "The Swamp Fox", organized another famous Revolutionary War Ranger element known as "Marion's Partisans."
Nope, remember mankind has been fighting for a loooong time. There were other cultures to practice Spec Ops before. Even Sun Tzu wrote about it thousands of years ago.
Before my beloved Rangers there were:
the Knights Templar during the Crusades
Ninjas (in fedual China and Japan)
Sappers (from medival times to Napolean)
The Lovat Scouts during the Boer War
Specialized troops being used for covert ops go back to Antiquity. Remeber what the defintion can be:
Special Operation forces is a term for highly-trained military units that conduct specialized operations such as reconnaissance, unconventional warfare, and counter-terrorism actions. Special ops units are typically composed of relatively small groups of highly-trained personnel equipped with specialist equipment and armament, operating under principles of self-sufficiency, stealth, speed, and close teamwork. (from Wiki)

Certainly a number of senior American officers (and, I suppose, other ranks) had experience from the French & Indian War. In addition to Washington, Dan Morgan and Nathaniel Greene come to mind. Others just seemed to have a knack for it. Henry Knox, for example, was a bookseller in Boston who somehow became an artillery genious.
And yes, certainly the Americans had a higher exposure to unconventional tactics not just in the F&I itself, but also in Pontiac's Rebellion and more generalized frontier Indian-fighting. Francis Marion (aka “the Swamp Fox”) started out that way. Of course, there was some such experience on the other side, too. Robert Rogers – who led the famed Rogers' Rangers during the F&I – fought for the Crown during the Revolution, too. On the other hand, I believe there were conservative elements within the British government and army who never really took those lessons to heart, or else underestimated their utility.
'Course, there's also the luck of the draw. I wonder, for instance, whether things might not have turned out differently had James Wolfe been leading the British forces in the Saratoga Campaign instead of Gentleman Johnny Burgoyne.
