I am an Elite
Special Forces soldier. A professional! I will do all that my nation requires of
me.
I am a volunteer, knowing well the hazards of my profession.
I serve with the
memory of those who have gone before me. I pledge to uphold the honor and
integrity of all I am - in all I do.
I am a professional
soldier. I will teach and fight wherever my nation requires. I will strive
always, to excel in every art and artifice of war.
I know that I will
be called upon to perform tasks in isolation, far from familiar faces and
voices, with the help and guidance of my God.
I will keep my mind
and body clean, alert and strong, for this is my debt to those who depend upon
me.
I will not fail
those with whom I serve. I will not bring shame upon myself or the forces.
I will maintain
myself, my arms, and my equipment in an immaculate state as befits a Special
Forces soldier.
I will never
surrender though I be the last. If I am taken, I pray that I may have the
strength to spit upon my enemy.
My goal is to
succeed in any mission - and live to succeed again.
I am a member of my
squad's chosen soldiery. God grant that I may not be found wanting, that I will
not fail this sacred trust.
