Canadian Rangers

Canadian Rangers are a component of the Canadian Armed Forces that primarily operates in remote and northern regions of Canada. They are made up of mostly Indigenous and local volunteers who serve in their own communities. The Rangers conduct reconnaissance, assist with search and rescue operations, and support emergency response efforts. They also help maintain a Canadian presence in the North while promoting sovereignty. While they are not a full-time military unit, the Rangers play a crucial role in fostering community engagement and preserving traditional skills and knowledge in their territories.
