Rangers were known for their use of specialized equipment; everything from Commando style knives, to explosives. Members are encouraged to try their best to research and include specialized Ranger equipment in their displays. (All explosives must be inert). Any item brought for display or use at an event that is not on the following uniform and equipment list must first be approved by the unit Commander.

All uniforms and equipment must be in presentable condition. Members will maintain an clean and orderly appearance, especially at public displays and events.

Members are encouraged to purchase two complete basic uniforms (Jacket, shirt, pants, leggings), one for use as a tactical uniform, the other for wearing at public displays and events.
