Each Ranger Division is commanded by an officer with a minimum rank of Commander, from headquarters which are often located on quiet, out of the way planets. It has a number of operational platoons, as well as additional administrative, intelligence, logistics and medical support. Each platoon consists of approximately 20 officers and enlisted, and can be divided into individual squads of 4-10 depending on the requirements of a mission. | Each Ranger Division is commanded by an officer with a minimum rank of Commander, from headquarters which are often located on quiet, out of the way planets.

Rangers deployed alone explore, patrol, and protect Federation borders where Starfleet presence is minimal. From planetary placements to working within entire regions of space, | Rangers deployed alone explore, patrol, and protect Federation borders where Starfleet presence is minimal. From planetary placements to working within entire regions of space, they are not known to operate by themselves in well-established Federation territory, and rarely operate in more than teams of three or four when placed on such borders. These rangers will often be required to report to civilian services, as they are without an immediate Starfleet commanding officer. Because of this, they must uphold Starfleet regulation to its highest standard at all times. When placed aboard, or within the vicinity of a Starfleet vessel, officers must always report to that vessel's command staff. | ||
Training for these officers includes courses expected for those posted to platoons, but regional support officers must also be evaluated by Starfleet counselor and a public diplomatic officer before they are considered. Local knowledge of or experience within the area may also influence placement. | |||

Rangers specialize in small-scale operations, generally deployed when Starfleet are unable to, or where it is impractical or unwise to send starships and crews. Platoons will act as special forces where necessary, working closely and coordinating with [[Starfleet Marine Corps]] and [[Starfleet Intelligence]] to protect the more densely populated borders of Federation space, proactively seeking out threats against Federation citizens. | |||
However, the duties of a Ranger acting alone are vastly different, as they act primarily in a support role for civilians in these areas. | |||
