Clubhouse Introduction:


In early 1950, the late General Rocky M Ileto was tasked to create a group of commandos in order to counter the vicious HUKBALAHAP guerillas, a communist-inspired organization during those times. The then Captain Ileto quickly buckled down to work and started selecting reputable officers and enlisted men to help him form the new unit that would eventually become a force to reckon with in the Armed Forces of the Philippines. Captain Ileto decided to mold his new unit after the legendary Alamo Scouts of WWII and the indomitable Rangers of the U.S. Army.

The newly organized Scout Ranger unit has to be a compact and hard-hitting one in order to match the rebels’ cunning and agility. To qualify to the unit, each Scout Ranger-candidate must be highly skilled in the art of warfare - he must have the ferocity of a panther and spirit of a winner. Members were trained to be specialists in small and highly selective raids, ambuscades, “snatch”, long-range reconnaissance and other offensive actions. In short, every trooper must be a consummate warrior and an indefatigable hunter… Thus on 25 November 1950, the Scout Ranger soldier-warrior was born!


Today, the First Scout Ranger Regiment continues to perform its multi-faceted mission. Its men will forever be ready to take on the challenge on any unscrupulous individual or groups that will dare to destroy the Filipino way of life. For the Scout Rangers, numerous prestigious awards and decorations are nothing compared to the self-fulfilling genuine service to their own country and people… But make no mistakes because they will forever be swift and deadly.
