It was on the island, in 1757, where Rogers wrote his "Rules of Ranging," a manual on guerrilla warfare that became a blueprint for modern Army Ranger fighting tactics. His original 28 rules have been boiled down over the years into the 19 "Standing Orders" taught to today's Army commandos.

This is fascinating. Are you familiar with the "Rules of Ranging"?

It is fascinating...and I would be curious to know what they are just for the sake of knowing. Assuming that you don't have to kill me if you tell me. :)
