NCR Ranger (Fallout: New Vegas)

New California Rangers are soldiers for NCR, operating in the Mojave Desert in 2281.

Background
The New California Rangers are a branch of the NCR Military. They are well trained and show little to no remorse.

The rangers are hand picked from the standard NCR infantry for their combat and stealth abilities. They are well known for their ability to infiltrate enemy territory and successfully complete misions with great efficiency. Their force of will and general determination has made them famous across the NCR as expert troops. Colonel Hsu, leader of NCR base Camp McCarran in 2281, says "You come to depend on them (the rangers)."

Squads
At this time, the only known group division of the NCR Rangers (that is, the only division that comprises of more than a single Ranger) is the 1st Recon Division, an elite squad of snipers stationed in the Mojave Desert. During the events of Fallout New Vegas, the player can interact with a squad of six 1st Recon soldiers who are at Camp McCarran. After completing the Three-Card Bounty quest chain given by their leader and killing all the Fiends mentioned, the 1st Recon squad will move to Camp Forlorn Hope. From overhearing various snippets of conversation said by Fiends and other enemies of the NCR, the player can discern that the squad is moving around Southeastern Mojave, hunting and killing enemies of the NCR.

Members
In 2281, some members of the Rangers include:


 * Chief Hanlon, leader of the NCR Rangers and stationed at Camp Golf


 * Bryce Anders, hiding out in Vault 3 and then returning to Camp McCarran (after the Motor-Runner has been killed)


 * An unnamed NCR Ranger hiding out in one of the Hidden Valley bunkers, involved in quest Still in the Dark


 * Andy, an injured ranger living in Novac in 2281


 * Lineholm, leader of Ranger Station Alpha in the Mojave Wasteland and involved in the quest Return to Sender


 * Ranger Ericsen, a ranger at Ranger Station Bravo in the Mojave Wasteland


 * Unnamed slaughtered Rangers at Ranger Station Charlie in the Mojave Wasteland


 * Ranger Pason, stationed at Ranger Station Delta in the Mojave Wasteland


 * Ranger Erasmus can be found at Ranger Station Echo in the Mojave Wasteland

Possible companion Boone is ex-1st Recon, as is his counterpart in Novac, Manny Vargas. Also note that numerous NCR Veteran Rangers can be found across the Mojave Wasteland, namely in camps such as Forlorn Hope or any of the six Ranger Stations upon the player's completion of Ambassador Crocker's portion of the quest For the Republic.
