Which Ranger unit is credited with rescuing prisoners during World War II?

The question focuses on a famous WWII Ranger operation and which unit carried out a high-profile prisoner rescue. The 6th Ranger Battalion is the unit credited with this rescue, specifically during the Great Raid on Cabanatuan in the Philippines in 1945. Under Lt. Col. Henry Mucci, Rangers, with guerrilla support and a carefully planned night assault, freed hundreds of American prisoners and evacuated them to safety. This mission became one of the most celebrated feats in Ranger history, illustrating how Rangers operated deep behind enemy lines with stealth, coordination, and compassion for their fellow servicemen. Other Ranger Battalions did important work in various campaigns, but they were not the units responsible for this particular rescue.
