Yikes! I'll be sure never to cross you! 
As for the Rangers' rules, I think our favorite BBQ'ed Brit could have benefited from one at least of them: "Tell the truth about what you see and what you do. There is an army depending on us for correct information."  |

The popularized version of Roger's Rangers "Standing Orders" seems to have first appeared in the 1960 version of U.S. Army FM (Field Manual) 21-50, Ranger Training and Ranger Operations. The Standing Orders are a myth that have become part of Army Ranger lore and legend.
Robert Rogers did publish a rather lengthy "Plan of Dicipline." This is the original:

This will come as a disappointment to some. Of course, if you're really interested in true frontier military history, the original version, well....."It is more deeply stirring to my blood than any imagining could possibly have been."

Whew!
I liked the other better (especially #17) - clear and too the point. Although I will admitt that recent times have shortened our attention spans something awful! |
I live in my own little world - but that's okay, they know me here! |

Speaking of RR, has anyone heard from The Major and/or Sarah lately?

I'd think the popularized version might have been tailored to be easy to remember for soldiers. A synopsis so to speak, of very good patrolling and action drills. Kinda like to simple memory device for ops orders and warning orders. Much detail is encompassed in the order, but the short version tickles the memory. Soldiers on patrol tend not to carry FM's and SOP's with them, eh? :)
Hi Sarah! Good to hear you're still alive and kickin'.
