The Army Song

First to fight for the right,
And to build the Nation’s might,
And The Army Goes Rolling Along
Proud of all we have done,
Fighting till the battle’s won,
And the Army Goes Rolling Along.

Then it’s Hi! Hi! Hey!
The Army’s on its way.
Count off the cadence loud and strong (TWO! THREE!)
For where e’er we go,
You will always know
That The Army Goes Rolling Along.

Soldier’s Creed

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.

Cadet Creed

I am an Army Cadet

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 in battle to win.

I WILL DO MY DUTY.
