What is the difference between NCR rangers and Desert rangers?
By this i mean do desert rangers (cool mask dudes) have nothing to do with the NCR? and were they once just there to protect the mojave? the statue at the mojave outpost really confuses me as to this.

The NCR rangers are an in-house police and military organization founded by Seth. They patrol the home region, keeping tab on things and rooting out trouble like raiders and slavers.

The Desert Rangers were a paramilitary group of vigilantes that did the same sort of thing in the unincorporated areas to the east and northeast of NCR territory. Tycho was one of them. They were absorbed into the NCR when the NCR came to the Mojave.

NCR rangers are the ranger forces of NCR. It's an elite force composed of volunteer individuals, and they're armed and outfitted with the best gear the NCR can produce.

Desert rangers are the remnants of the Texas rangers, Nevada rangers, and so on. To even qualify for veteran ranger position, you must have served with distinction for at least 20 years. These are the guys with the redwood revolvers and riot gear/longcoats.

The desert rangers were absorbed by NCR on the condition that NCR sees to their interests in the Mojave, primarily Hoover dam.

ahhh thanks for that, so they are kind of the same way caesar merged his tribes into one (but not by force lol) and they are a hell of a lot more equipped and experienced.

It can be rather fun to screw with them.

The genuine Desert Ranger armor you can find is cool with the camouflage vest.
I always thought the Statues were not only a symbol of unity between the NCR and Desert Rangers, but also a symbol of NCR conquest and victory.
If the Desert Rangers chose not to be absorbed they'd have gotten no help and maybe had a new enemy.
or maybe i played this game too much ha h
