Ranger Kudlow is a member of the New California Republic Rangers and the lead officer stationed at Ranger Station Foxtrot in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281. She appears in Fallout: New Vegas.
Background[]
In her post to Ranger Station Foxtrot prior to 2281, Ranger Kudlow's primary mission has been observing the activities of the Great Khans inhabiting Red Rock Canyon to the south of the station.[1] Around October of that year, the Foxtrot staff noticed the departure of Jessup's group to help Benny ambush the Courier at Goodsprings, but thought nothing of it when no incidents were reported afterward.[2]
Kudlow also has a low opinion of Comm Officer Lenk, having little sympathy for her story of falling into gambling and alcohol to cope with trauma. She disapproves of Lenk's "jumpy" tendencies and its effect on group morale after she was assigned to Foxtrot as her last chance to remain a Ranger.[3]

- ↑ The Courier: "What are you doing out here?"
Ranger Kudlow: "Tough, independent, and as ruthless as they come. They're holed up in Red Rock Canyon, and it's this station's job to keep an eye on them."
(Ranger Kudlow's dialogue) - ↑ The Courier: "What do you know about the Great Khans?"
Ranger Kudlow: "Keeping watch on the Great Khans mostly. They usually stick around Red Rock Canyon, but at least one large group left recently. We called it in, but haven't heard anything about any Great Khan incidents. Whatever they're doing, they're keeping a low profile."
(Ranger Kudlow's dialogue) - ↑ The Courier: "Lenk told me her story."
Ranger Kudlow: "Yeah, it's a damn shame. There was a lot of talk about expelling her from the Rangers, especially once the gambling and drinking started. Being posted here is her second and last chance, and so far, I'm not impressed. Lenk's jumpy all the time, and the others are sick of it."
