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.
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 farther, 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.
