Who authored the set of ranging rules used by Rogers' Rangers?

The ideas that guided Rogers' Rangers came from their leader, Robert Rogers. He created the practical doctrine and wrote the manual that defined how the unit conducted long-range reconnaissance and hit-and-run operations during the French and Indian War. The rules emphasized moving quietly, using terrain to advantage, gathering intelligence, avoiding detectable tracks, coordinating ambushes, and maintaining discipline in rough conditions. That firsthand, organization-wide guidance is why the set of ranging rules is associated with Rogers. The other names are notable figures in American military history, but they did not author Rogers' Rangers’ ranging rules.
