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!
