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
tasks 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.
