The command structure of the Steel Rangers is organized into a strict, non-linear hierarchy of ranks.

It also features a full software suite, designed by Stable-Tec and extraordinarily similar to a PipBuck, that includes E.F.S., S.A.T.S., and a medical suite that can monitor the health of the host and administer drugs and medicine on demand. The armor has a special integrated battle saddle designed to hold all manner of weapons, including heavy weapons like grenade-chainguns, mini-guns, and missile launchers. The power armor that the Steel Rangers wear is made almost entirely of metal and is embedded with several magical gemstones, one of which enhance the user's strength, allowing easier to manage for the ponies inside. Almost every member of the Steel Rangers is combat-trained, armed, and prepared for deployment at a moment's notice. The Steel Rangers are a highly militarized faction, its bulk comprised of soldiers who comb the ruins of the Equestrian Wasteland, seeking remnants of technology and history from the pre-war era. Most Steel Ranger soldiers are equipped with a full metal suit of power armor, making them frighteningly effective combatants. This obsession, combined with their militant ruthlessness, makes them one of the most aggressively advanced factions in the Equestrian Wasteland.

Their major goal is to collect, catalog, and research any technology they can find, in hopes that they may one day be able to duplicate it. Steel Rangers are known for their obsession with the most advanced pre-war technology that the Equestrian Wasteland has to offer. Steel Rangers and Applejack's Rangers fought side by side against the Enclave when they began assaulting the Equestrian Wasteland. Littlepip had a run-in with the Steel Rangers after this, including a firefight at Bucklyn Cross after an attempted hostage exchange went bad. Many rangers flocked to SteelHooves, renaming themselves Applejack's Rangers and painting themselves red as a sign of their desertion. The Rangers suffered a schism when SteelHooves rebelled against the practices of the Fillydelphia contingent and their unprovoked attack on Stable 2. Some of the Rangers have a shoot-first, ask-questions later policy and will employ it in the pursuit of securing valuable technology, like what happened with the Fillydelphia contingent and Calamity, when they noticed he had Spitfire's Thunder. The Rangers views on their oaths have become warped and many of them no longer care about protecting innocent wasteland ponies, instead fixated upon the recovery of technology.

Several Contingents of the order sprung up, including the Manehatten, FillydelphiaВ & Trottingham contingents. The order emerged into the Equestrian wasteland after the fallout and set about recovering and protecting technology. When the Megaspells fell, the Steel Rangers managed to survive the apocalypse, either in bunkers, stables, or as Ghouls.

Pinkie Pie notably ordered a group of Steel Rangers to accompany her specialists 'The Pinks' in a special operation in Manehatten, specifically the capture and disarming of a Balefire Bomb, smuggled into Equestria by Zebra and ponies loyal to the zebra, working for the Four Stars company. The Steel Rangers were given oaths during their service, specifically to protect Equestria and its people. The Steel Rangers could be commanded by the military and ministries and functioned as specialist soldiers during the war. The Steel Rangers were the only soldiers that wore full body power armour and performed operations outside of just military ones. The Steel Rangers were established as a branch of the Equestrian military and Ministry of Technology by Applejack and were composed of experienced soldiers, specially trained to use the power armour.
