Ranger 38/6 C was an airborne special warfare infantry company of the 38th Expeditionary Force, UNSC Ranger Corps and was a subordinate formation underneath UNSC Special Operations Command Centauri (UNSCSOCCEN), UNSC Special Operations Command. "38/6 C" indicated that it was 38th Ranger Force, 6th Battalion, Company "C". The company was commanded by Captain Kishi, a special warfare officer of the UNSC Army.

38/6 C was stationed on Earth in the Sol Theater of Operations, and during the devastating Second Battle of Earth, would become heavily damaged, losing over half its contingent in fierce fighting against Jiralhanae aggressors in the Eastern Seaboard of the former country of America. Despite these substantial losses, when UNSCSOCCEN put out an urgent call for any Ranger forces available for a rapid reaction operation to Cambridge, Massachusetts, where UNSCSOCOM and Marine forces were being overwhelmed and were on the brink of collapse, Kishi and his men would refuse the opportunity to regroup and to obtain medical treatment, and the wounded and exhausted operators of Company C would embark on one final, last mission.

The airborne company, devastated to the forces of a regular infantry platoon, would embark in several D77H-TCI Pelican Dropships to prosecute a search-and-rescue operation for their UNSC comrades before they fell into enemy hands. During the approach to Cambridge, the dropship pilots, because of a command-and-control miscommunication, would insert Task Force Ranger in an area of heavy anti-aircraft (AAA) saturation, leading to the deaths of many of the Rangers and the destruction of the majority of the Pelicans. The remaining forces would crash-land and valiantly struggle to secure casualty collection points for their fallen Ranger comrades. When it became evident that this was impossible, the Rangers would spread out into the city, searching for their lost fellow UNSCSOCOM soldiers, sustaining heavy attrition in the urban battlescape.
