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 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.
