I am an Airborne trooper! 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 that 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 far-flung 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 my 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 the 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!
