The
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 my Ranger
Regiment. 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
farther, 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.
