Night Stalker Creed
Service
in the 160th is a calling only a few will answer for the mission is
constantly demanding and hard. And when the impossible has been
accomplished the only reward is another mission that no one else will
try. As a member of the Night Stalkers I am a tested volunteer seeking
only to safeguard the honor and prestige of my country, by serving the
elite Special Operations Soldiers of the United States. I pledge to
maintain my body, mind and equipment in a constant state of readiness
for I am a member of the fastest deployable Task Force in the world –
ready to move at a moments notice anytime, anywhere, arriving time on
target plus or minus 30 seconds.
I
guard my unit’s mission with secrecy, for my only true ally is the
night and the element of surprise. My manner is that of the Special
Operations Quiet Professional, secrecy is a way of life. In battle, I
eagerly meet the enemy for I volunteered to be up front where the
fighting is hard. I fear no foe’s ability, nor underestimate his will
to fight.
The
mission and my precious cargo are my concern. I will never surrender. 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.
Gallantly
will I show the world and the elite forces I support that a Night
Stalker is a specially selected and well trained soldier.
I
serve with the memory and pride of those who have gone before me for
they loved to fight, fought to win and would rather die than quit.
Night
Stalkers Don’t Quit!
