| - | The '''Scout Rangers''', known officially as the '''First Scout Ranger Regiment''', is the Philippine Army's primary Special Forces unit, and specializes in anti-guerrilla warfare. The regiment has been boasted as one of the world's best anti-guerilla fighters in Asia.
| |
| - |
| |
| - | The Scout Ranger Regiment was born on November 25, 1950 under the command of former AFP Vice Chief of Staff and Defense Secretary Rafael "Rocky" Ileto. Named after both the Alamo Scouts and the US Army Rangers, the unit was created due to a growing need to counter the Hukbalahap guerrillas with a force trained in small unit actions.
| |

| |
| - | Scout Ranger combat units are deployed nationwide, usually for combat operations. For security reasons, areas of deployment are classified information and cannot be released.
