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 "esprit de corps" of the Rangers 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 comrades
I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong, and morally
straight and I will shoulder more than my share of the tasks 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 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.
RANGER LEAD THE WAY!
