*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 the rangers.
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 task whatever it may be. One hundred percent
and then some.
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 the ranger objective and
compltere the mission. Though I be the lone survivor.
RANGERS LEAD THE WAY!
