User Reviews
This is great book to read even your not planing on going ranger great knowledge to know. Always prepare for anything always remember that this will defend.
The antenna length calculator is incorrect. The formula of 234 divided by the frequency (?Hz). The example used should be in megahertz.
Has a lot to offer. I have the ranger hand book it is a great book but a lot to take in for someone trying to learn ranger roles. This app breaks things down easily in sections that explain in great detail. Trying for the Ranger Regiment this app is gold
Concise information and interface. Only request would be to add a few more utilities to the map feature, such as notes, custom landmarks, waypoints, etc. The map is blazing fast even on an older device, which is nice to use, but needs some more functionality.
This is a great reference guide for infantry tactics and operations. My only problem so far is in the machine gun emplacement introduction there is a picture of a soldier using an m14 type sniper rifle under the m249 heading. It would be great if this was fixed.
Straight out of the ranger handbook and with side notes. Could use the more basic battle drills too, but those aren’t in the ranger handbook either
Honestly really well laid out app for anyone who is going to attend Ranger School or to just gain an overall knowledge of the history, tactics, and fundamentals of being a Ranger.
I love the organization, the photos, and the overall user friendliness. This is really well made and a fantastic tool for any and every soldier, especially Infantry. One small tweak (but I bet not easy) for this to be an even more unbelievably great tool would be hyperlinks of definitions for all acronyms/abbreviations. Or someway to have a "previous page" button for when I search and go to the glossary, I can hit one button to go right back to where I was. Necessary? Probably not but that would really put this way over the top. 👍😁
This APP met every criteria that I was looking for. Full of knowledge and more.
Very well organized and helpful.
