The Royal Ranger Regiment ((マレー語:'Rejimen Renjer DiRaja'); RRD) is an infantry regiment of the Malaysian Army. Although it is second in seniority to the Royal Malay Regiment (''Rejimen Askar Melayu DiRaja; RAMD''), the RRD can trace its origins back to the mid 19th century and the establishment of The Sarawak Rangers, the peacekeeping force in the Sarawak region. This force was absorbed by the Sarawak Constabulary in 1932, but the name was revived in 1941 as a British Colonial unit; this unit commanded by British Lieutenant Colonel C.M. Lane〔(The Battle for Miri and Sarawak, Borneo, WW II )〕〔Battle of Borneo (1941–42)〕 was captured by the Japanese in 1942. == History == In 1948, at the beginning of the Malayan Emergency, groups of Iban trackers〔http://pgbwarrior.blogspot.com/2009/08/iban-trackers-and-reformed-sarawak.html〕 were recruited to help in the defence against the Communist Party of Malaya. These Iban trackers were organised into a regimental formation as the Sarawak Rangers in 1953. Prior to 1963, they were attached as scouts to many British units serving in Malaya. One of the trackers, Awang anak Rawang was awarded the George Cross on 20 November 1951, during his attachment to the Worcestershire Regiment. In 1963, following the formation of Malaysia on 16 September of that year, the unit was transferred from the British Colonial Forces to the new Malaysian Army〔(British & Commonwealth Units )〕 and expanded into a multi-battalion, multi-ethnic regiment named Renjer Malaysia. This became the Rejimen Renjer in 1971, before being given the 'Royal' prefix and hence known as the Rejimen Renjer DiRaja (Royal Ranger Regiment) in 1992. On 28 September 2013, Royal Ranger Regiment celebrates its Golden Jubilee.
