STANDING ORDERS: ROGERSā RANGERS
1. Donāt forget nothing.
2. Have your musket clean as a whistle, hatchet scoured, 60 rounds powder and ball and be ready to march at a minuteās warning.
3. When youāre on the march, act the way you would if you was sneaking up on a deer. See the enemy first.
4. Tell the truth about what you see and what you do. There is an army depending on us for correct information. You can lie all you please when you tell other folks about the Rangers, but donāt never lie to a Ranger or officer.
5. Donāt never take a chance you donāt have to.
6. When weāre on the march, we march single file, far enough apart so one shot canāt go through two men.
7. If we strike swamps or soft ground, we spread out abreast, so itās hard to track us.
8. When we march, we keep moving till dark, so as to give the enemy the least possible chance at us.
9. When we camp, half the party stays awake while the other half sleeps.
10. If we take prisoners, we keep āem separate till we have had time to examine them, so they canāt cook up a story between āem.
11. Donāt ever march home the same way. Take a different route so you wonāt be ambushed.
12. No matter whether we travel in big parties or little ones, each party has to keep a scout 20 yards ahead, 20 yards on each flank and 20 yards in the rear, so the main body canāt be surprised and wiped out.
13. Every night youāll be told where to meet if surrounded by a superior force.
14. Donāt sit down to eat without posting sentries.
15. Donāt sleep beyond dawn. Dawnās when the French and Indians attack.
16. Donāt cross a river by a regular ford.
17. If somebodyās trailing you, make a circle, come back onto your own tracks, and ambush the folks that aim to ambush you.
18. Donāt stand up when the enemyās coming against you. Kneel down, lie down, hide behind a tree.
19. Let the enemy come till heās almost close enough to touch. Then let him have it and jump out and finish him with your hatchet.
