I. I am an
American, fighting in the forces which guard my country and our
way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their
defense.
II. I will
never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never
surrender the members of my command while they still have the
means to resist.
III. If I am
captured I will continue to resist by all means available.
I will make every effort to escape and to aid others to escape.
I will
accept neither parole
[early release]
nor special favors from the enemy.
IV. If I
become a prisoner of war, I will keep faith with my fellow
prisoners.
I will give no information or take part in
any action which might be harmful to my comrades.
If I am senior, I will take command. If not, I will obey
the lawful orders of those appointed over me and will back them
up in every way.
V. When
questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am bound to
only give name, rank, service number, and date of birth.
I will evade answering further questions
to the utmost of my ability. I will make no oral or
written statements disloyal to my country and its allies or
harmful to their cause.
VI. I will never forget
that I am an American, fighting for freedom, responsible for my
actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country
free. I will trust in my God and in the United
States of America.
