The Special Forces Creed

The Special Forces Creed

Special Forces Insignia

I am an American Special Forces Soldier!
 
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 their legacy, in all that I am – in all that I do. 
 
I am a warrior.  I will teach and fight whenever and 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 faith, I will conquer my fears and succeed.  
 
I will keep my mind and body, clean, alert and strong. I will maintain my arms and equipment in an immaculate state befitting a Special Forces Soldier, 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 Special Forces.  
 
I will never leave a fallen comrade.  I will never surrender though I am the last.  If I am taken, I pray that I have the strength to defy my enemy.  
 
I am a member of my Nation’s chosen soldiery.  I serve quietly, not seeking recognition or accolades.  My goal is to succeed in my mission – and live to succeed again.  
 
De Oppresso Liber!
