Entering its sixth year as USSTC’s signature community relations initiative, Operation Ranger assists America’s emergency first responders by donating versatile utility vehicles to worthy organizations across the country. USSTC provided nearly 80 Rangers to fire-rescue, police, emergency medical services, emergency management, and wildlife law enforcement organizations in 2007, and has awarded more than 335 off-road vehicles nationwide since late 2002. In the past year, USSTC-donated vehicles have helped battle wildfires in Georgia and California and provide tornado relief in Florida and Kansas, among hundreds of other uses.
