What does it take to be a ranger? Good leadership in the field is vital to enable the achievement of a common goal.

A good leader draws total attention from his team and ensures that each member fully understands their role and responsibility on the patrol. A good leader ensures a comprehensive patrol briefing at the start and a debriefing at the end of the patrol. This not only highlights the strengths and weaknesses of the patrol but critically builds team cohesion.
