Ranger Creed
Recognizing that I volunteered as a
Ranger, fully knowing the hazards of my
chosen profession, I will always
endeavor to uphold the prestige, honor,
and high esprit de corps of the
Rangers.
Acknowledging the fact that a
Ranger is a more elite soldier who
arrives at the cutting edge of battle
by land, sea, or air, I accept the fact
that as a Ranger my country expects me
to move further, faster, and fight
harder than any other soldier.
Never shall I fail my comrades I will always
keep myself mentally alert, physically
strong, and morally straight and I will
shoulder more than my share of the task
whatever it may be, one hundred percent
and then some.
Gallantly will I show the world that I am a
specially selected and well trained soldier. My
courtesy to superior officers, neatness
of dress, and care of equipment shall
set the example for others to follow.
Energetically will I meet the enemies
of my country. I shall defeat them on
the field of battle for I am better
trained and will fight with all my
might. Surrender is not a Ranger word.
I will never leave a fallen comrade to
fall into the hands of the enemy and
under no circumstances will I ever
embarrass my country.
Readily will I display the intestinal fortitude
required to fight on to the Ranger
objective and complete the mission,
though I be the lone survivor.
