	The sole black mark on the Rangers' spotless record came when a number of disbanded Starfleet Rangers once assigned to the DMZ chose to leave Starfleet and join the [[Maquis]], a group of renegades opposed to Cardassian control of planets in and along the DMZ. To this day, the Rangers consider the Maquis defection an embarrassment, and they have a strong dislike for both the Maquis and the Cardassian military.

	The Rangers proved invaluable to the [[52nd Fleet]] during the Federation Civil War, since they were able to adapt well to the harsh conditions and manpower shortages caused by the conflict. While Starfleet vessels maneuvered in strategic battles against [[Admiral Doenitz\|Doentiz Loyalist Forces]] and their occupied worlds, Rangers operated behind enemy lines, scouting out Loyalist strongholds and troop positions, sabotaging operations, and fermenting rebellion on Doenitz-controlled worlds. Starfleet awarded medals of valor to many Rangers for their actions during the war, including a small team of Rangers largely credited with overthrowing the Doenitz occupation of [[~~Anaxar~~]] in the final days of the war.

Starfleet ranger training began as a series of courses at the [[Starfleet Academy\|Academy]] intended to teach planetary survival skills necessary for officers visiting undiscovered and unexplored worlds on the fringes of known space. While comprehensive, the survival courses were fairly basic, with some more advanced programs available.

	The Rangers began to develop as a true branch of service during the Federation's first war with the [[Cardassian Union]]. The Cardassian War pointed to some weaknesses in Federation defense strategy; many young [[Starfleet]] officers operating on worlds like [[Setlik III]] and [[Davros II]] were unprepared for the requirements of guerrilla-style warfare and survival under the harsh conditions they encountered.

	The remote locations of many Federation [[colony\|colonies]] along the Cardassian border made things even more difficult, spreading Starfleet resources thin. Although a single [[starship]] was more than capable of protecting a colony, Starfleet could not spare a ship for every single colony. In many ways, in fact, a [[Nebula Class\|Nebula]] or [[Ambassador Class]] ship with a crew of hundreds was overkill in responding to the kind of skirmish warfare the [[Cardassian]]s were engaged in. A smaller, more precise, response was required.
