I
I am a guardian of the Army's health. I will do all in my power to assure
that America's soldiers are strong and fit. And if they are wounded, injured,
or sick, I will preserve their lives; I will ease their pain and suffering;
I will restore their bodies; I will help them to rebuild their human effectiveness
and spirit.
II
I accept the responsibility of being a medical soldier. I will maintain
the physical, mental, and moral strength to fulfill this high obligation,
and, in all ways, I will devote my highest abilities to learning and performing
my medical and military duties.
III
I recognize that to succeed in this I also must possess the highest soldierly
virtues. I will, therefore, make loyalty my guide, courage my ally, honor
and integrity my servants, and self-discipline my master, so that in all
circumstances and under all conditions my efforts will be correct and successful.
IV
I will, by my own attitude and example, inspire compassion for humanity,
loyalty to the Army, my country, and my people, and a true conviction that
the American ideals of freedom and equality for all mankind will prevail.
