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 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 survivor. |
