Colonial American military history : ウィキペディア英語版 | Colonial American military history Colonial American military history is the military record of the Thirteen Colonies from their founding to the American Revolution in 1775. ==Rangers== (詳細はColonel Benjamin Church (c. 1639–1718).〔John Grenier. The First Way of War: American War Making on the Frontier. Cambridge University Press. 2005. p. 35〕 He was the captain of the first Ranger force in America (1676).〔John Grenier. The First Way of War: American War Making on the Frontier. Cambridge University Press. 2005. p. 33〕 Church was commissioned by the Governor of the Plymouth Colony Josiah Winslow to form the first ranger company for King Philip's War. He later employed the company to raid Acadia during King William's War and Queen Anne's War. Benjamin Church designed his force primarily to emulate Native American patterns of war. Toward this end, Church endeavored to learn to fight like Native Americans from Native Americans.〔 Americans became rangers exclusively under the tutelage of the Indian allies. (Until the end of the colonial period, rangers depended on Indians as both allies and teachers.)〔John Grenier, p. 33-34〕 Church developed a special full-time unit mixing white colonists selected for frontier skills with friendly Native Americans to carry out offensive strikes against hostile Native Americans in terrain where normal militia units were ineffective. Under Church served the father and grandfather of two famous rangers of the eighteenth century: John Lovewell and John Gorham respectively.〔The first way of war: American war making on the frontier, 1607–1814 By John Grenier, p. 38〕 Rogers' Rangers was established in 1751〔''Churchill's Wizards: The British Genius for Deception, 1914–1945'' (Rankin, Nicholas). p. 454 (2008 paperback)〕 by Major Robert Rogers, who organized nine Ranger companies in the American colonies. These early American light infantry units, organized during the French and Indian War, were actively called "Rangers" and are often considered to be the spiritual birthplace of the modern Army Rangers.
