I wish I could take credit for writing this -- I can't. This is taken from Appendix E of FM78-5 "Ranger Unit Operations". ( http://www.adtdl.army.mil/cgi-bin/atdl.dll/fm/7-85/toc.htm ) Substitute a few words and it could apply to Royal Rangers.
****** The Ranger Creed R - Recognizing that I volunteered as a Ranger, fully knowing the hazards of my chosen profession, I will always endeavor to uphold the prestige, honor, and high "esprit de corps" of the Ranger Regiment. A - Acknowledging the fact that a Ranger is a more elite soldier who arrives at the cutting edge of a battle by land, sea, or air, I accept the fact that as a Ranger, my country expects me to move farther, faster, and fight harder than any other soldier. N - Never shall I fail my comrades. I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong, and morally straight and I will shoulder more than my share of the task, whatever it may be. One hundred percent and then some. G - Gallantly will I show the world that I am a specially selected and well-trained soldier. My courtesy to superiors, my neatness of dress, and my care of equipment shall set the example for others to follow. E - Energetically will I meet the enemies of my country. I shall defeat them on the field of battle, for I am better trained and will fight with all my might. Surrender is not a Ranger word. I will never leave a fallen comrade to fall into the hands of the enemy and under no circumstances will I ever embarrass my country. R - Readily will I display the intestinal fortitude required to fight on to the Ranger objective and complete the mission, though I be the lone survivor.
