Values, Oaths, and the Soldiers Creed
The Soldier's Creed and Warrior Ethos
I am an American Soldier.
I am a Warrior and a member of a team. I serve the people of the
United States and live the Army Values.
I will always place the mission first.
I will never accept defeat.
I will never quit.
I will never leave a fallen comrade.
I am disciplined, physically and mentally tough, trained, and
proficient in my warrior tasks and drills. I always maintain my arms,
my equipment, and myself.
I am an expert and I am a professional.
I stand ready to deploy, engage, and destroy the enemies of the
United States of America in close combat.
I am a guardian of freedom and the American way of life.
I am an American Soldier."
