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.
