The Airborne Division [ARBN]

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