Warriors Ethos
Flexible, adaptive, and competent Soldiers infused with the Army’s Warrior Culture fight wars and win the peace. Soldiers are trained in many different fields, but they must be first and foremost elite combatants prepared to defend themselves, their fellows, and their nation.
In the face of a rapidly changing theater of operations, General Schoomaker, U.S. Army Chief of Staff, has personally called for a return to this most fundamental of creeds. The modern Guard, active now on battlefields around the world, must be prepared for battle at all times. There is no such place as "behind the lines" any more. Our enemies will strike us whenever and wherever they can and we must be prepared to meet and destroy them. We will accomplish this mission by adhering to the Warrior Ethos:
I will always place the mission first.
I will never accept defeat.
I will never quit.
I will never leave a fallen comrade.
