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, mentally tough, trained and proficient in my warrior tasks and drills
I will always maintain my arms, 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
