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.
