THE AIRBORNE CREED
I am an Airborne trooper! A PARATROOPER!
I jump by parachute from any plane in flight. I volunteered to do it, knowing well the hazards of
my choice.
I serve in a mighty Airborne Force--famed for deeds in war--renowned for readiness in peace. It
is my pledge to uphold its honor and prestige in all I am--in all I do.
I am an elite trooper--a sky trooper--a shock trooper--a spearhead trooper. I blaze the way to farflung
goals--behind, before, above the foe's front line.
I know that I may have to fight without support for days on end. Therefore, I keep mind and
body always fit to do my part in any Airborne task. I am self-reliant and unafraid. I shoot true,
and march fast and far. I fight hard and excel in every art and artifice of war.
I never fail a fellow trooper. I cherish as a sacred trust the lives of men with whom I serve.
Leaders have my fullest loyalty, and those I lead never find me lacking.
I have pride in the Airborne! I never let it down!
