The ARVN Rangers, properly known in Vietnamese as the Biệt Ðộng Quân were trained and assisted by US Special Forces and Ranger advisers. The Vietnamese Rangers infiltrated beyond enemy lines in daring search and destroy missions. Initially trained as a counter-insurgency light infantry force by removing the fourth company each of the existing infantry battalions, they later expanded into a swing force capable of conventional as well as counter-insurgency operations. In 1960, when the Vietnam War began in earnest, the Vietnamese Rangers were formed. Rangers (Biet Dong Quan [BDQ]) initially organized into separate companies with US Army Rangers were assigned as advisers, initially as members of the Mobile Training Teams (MTTs), at Ranger Training Centers (RTC), and later at the unit level as members of the Military Advisory Command Vietnam (MACV). A small number of Vietnamese Ranger officers were selected to attend the U.S. Army Ranger School at Ft. Benning. In 1962, BDQ companies were initially formed into counter-insurgency Special Battalions but by 1963 Ranger units were organized into battalions and their mission evolved from counter-insurgency to light infantry operations. During 1966, the battalions were formed into task forces, and five ARVN Ranger Group headquarters were created at corps level to provide command and control for tactical operations. The Ranger Group structure was maintained until 1970 as U.S. force reduction commenced. The following ARVN Ranger (Biêt Dông Quân) formations existed in January 1973:1st Ranger Group - Da Nang (I Corps/CTZ)2nd Ranger Group - Pleiku (II Corps/CTZ)3rd Ranger Group - Bien Hoa (III Corps/CTZ)4th Ranger Group - Chi Long (initially in the 44 Tactical Zone and later the IV Corps)5th Ranger Group - Bien Hoa (III Corps/CTZ)6th Ranger Group - Bien Hoa (III Corps/CTZ)7th Ranger Group - Saigon, attached to Airborne Division41st Ranger Border Defense Group - Chi Long HQ42nd Ranger Border Defense Group - Chi Long HQ81st Ranger Group (Airborne) - Bien Hoa.
