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.
