The Ranger Creed
R
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 Ranger Regiment.
A
Acknowledging the fact that a Ranger is a more elite soldier who arrives at the
cutting edge of a 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.
N
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.
G
Gallantly will I show the world that I am a specially selected and well-trained
soldier. My courtesy to superiors, my neatness of dress, and my care of equipment
shall set the example for others to follow.
E
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.
R
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.
