The 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 "espirit 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 commrades. 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 surviver.
