The Rangers don’t believe in borders, and their reputation often leads to bounties on their heads within less ethical territories. These Special Forces are government sanctioned do-gooders (similar to the Regulators from Fallout 3), primarily focused on busting up slaver rings and raider gangs. Also you have a new companion who can accompany you. You can ask the quartermaster for a weapon and some armour. a platoon has arrived from the 32nd Regiment to assist and you are part of it.

However, the most glamorous posting in the NCR military is undoubtedly the New California Rangers. When you download this NCR Troopers are added to Forlorn Hope.

The NCR’s military is comprised of several divisions including mechanized infantry and even cavalry. While the Brotherhood is far superior to the NCR in terms of technology, the NCR has the advantage of numbers and a strong propaganda campaign to replenish those numbers. The NCR’s currency was originally backed by gold however the Brotherhood of Steel destroyed the NCR’s gold reserves when the two factions went to war. The NCR actually has its own currency (still trading in bottle caps after 200 years seemed kind of silly) which is backed by water. Each NCR ‘state’ contributes elected representatives to a central ‘council’, which is headed by a President. Slavery is strictly outlawed within the Republic, and women, ghouls, and even super mutants are allowed citizenship and government postings.

The NCR is one of the few examples of law, order, and ethics prevailing in the wastes. Shady Sands was thus enabled to boom unchallenged and was eventually reorganized into the capitol city of the New California Republic. The capitol of the NCR, formerly a tiny village known as Shady Sands, was able to rise to power due in large part to the Vault Dweller – also known as the first Fallout’s main character – who removed the threat of radscorpion and raider assaults. Originally founded by escapees of Vault 13 and 15, its government is similar –though more loose - than the United States that preceded it. History: Perhaps the largest proper nation in the wastes, the NCR boasts a population of 700,000+ as of 2250.
