Airborne
Creed
I am an Airborne
trooper! A
PARATROOPER!
I jump by parachute
from any plane in flight. I volunteered to do it,
knowing well the hazards of my choice.
I serve in
a mighty Airborne Force--famed for deeds in war--renowned
for readiness in peace. It is my pledge to uphold
its honor and prestige in all I am--in all I do.
I am an elite
trooper--a sky trooper--a shock trooper--a spearhead
trooper. I blaze the way to far-flung goals--behind,
before, above the foe's front line.
I know that I may have to fight without
support for days on end. Therefore, I keep mind and
body always fit to do my part in any Airborne task.
I am self-reliant and unafraid. I shoot true, and
march fast and far. I fight hard and excel in every
art and artifice of war.
I never fail
a fellow trooper. I cherish as a sacred trust the
lives of men with whom I serve. Leaders have my fullest
loyalty, and those I lead never find me lacking.
I have pride
in the Airborne! I never let it down!
In peace, I
do not shrink the dullest of duty not protest the
toughest training. My weapons and equipment are always
combat ready. I am neat of dress--military in courtesy--proper
in conduct and behavior.
In battle,
I fear no foe's ability, nor under-estimate his prowess,
power and guile. I fight him with all my might and
skills--ever alert to evade capture or escape a trap.
I never surrender, though I be the last.
My goal in
peace or war is to succeed in any mission of the day--or
die, if needs be, in the try.
I belong to a proud and glorious team--the
Airborne, the Army, my Country. I am its chosen pride
to fight where others may not go--to serve them well
until the final victory.
I am the trooper
of the sky! I am my Nation's best! In peace and war
I never fail. Anywhere, anytime, in anything--I
AM AIRBORNE!
