The Ranger Creed
R ecognizing 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.
A cknowledging 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.
N ever 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.
G allantly 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.
E nergetically 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 fallen comrade to fall into the hands of the
enemy and under no circumstances will I ever embarrass
my country.
R eadily will I display the intestinal fortitude
required to fight on to the Ranger objective and complete
the mission, though I be the lone survivor.
Abram's Charter
“The Ranger battalion is to be an elite, light, and
most proficient infantry battalion in the world; A
battalion that can do things with its hands and weapons
better than anyone. The battalion will not contain
any "Hoodlums" or "Brigands" and
if the battalion is formed of such persons, it will
be disbanded. Wherever the battalion goes, it
will be apparent that it is the best.”
