The 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.
