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.
The Cadet Creed
Soon I will take an oath and become an Army Officer committed to defending the values, which make this nation great.
HONOR is my touchstone. I understand MISSION first and PEOPLE always.
I am the PAST: the spirit of those WARRIORS who have made the final sacrifice.
I am the PRESENT:the scholar and apprentice soldier enhancing my skills in the science of warfare and the art of leadership.
But, above all, I am the FUTURE: the future WARRIOR LEADER of the United States Army. May God give me the compassion and judgment to lead and the gallantry to WIN.
I WILL do my duty.
