Who led the Corps of Rangers?

Frontier warfare and light infantry tactics powered the rise of specialized rifle-armed units called Rangers. Daniel Morgan is the commander who organized and led a notable corps of these Rangers, known for swift, skirmish-style operations and accurate marksmanship that fit the rough terrain and frontier threats of the time. His leadership of Morgan’s Rangers earned him a reputation as a skilled frontier commander and laid groundwork for his later success as a Continental Army general, including his decisive actions at Cowpens. The other figures were prominent leaders in different theaters or capacities, but not the head of this particular Ranger corps.
