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 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.
