The Army 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 the 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.
