INFANTRYMAN'S CREED

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in War, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight – wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be – the best trained soldier in the world.

In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fought on – through the foe, to the objective, to triumph over all. If necessary, I fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won 200 years of freedom.

I yield not: to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, for I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not – my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless I am always there, now and forever. I am the Infantry, follow me!
