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 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 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.
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.
RANGERS
LEAD THE WAY!
