Values

In the mid to late 1990s, the Army officially adopted what have come to be known as "The 7 Army Core Values." The Army began to teach these values as basic warrior traits. The seven Army Core Values are as follows:
  1. Loyalty – Bear true faith and allegiance to the U.S. Constitution, the Army, your unit, and fellow Soldiers.
  2. Duty – Fulfill your obligations.
  3. Respect – Treat others as they should be treated.
  4. Selfless Service – Put the welfare of the nation, the Army, and your subordinates before your own.
  5. Honor – Live the Army Values.
  6. Integrity – Do what's right, both legally and morally.
  7. Personal Courage – Face fear, danger, or adversity, both physical and moral.

The Infantryman's Creed

I am the Infantry.  I am my country's strength in war.  Her deterrent in peace.  I am the heart of the fight...  wherever, whenever.  I carry America's faith and honor against her enemies.  I am the Queen of Battle.  I am what my country expects me to be... the best trained solider in the world.  In the race for victory I am  swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win.  Never will I betray my country's trust.  Always I fight on... through the foe, to the objective, to triumph over all, If necessary, I will fight to my death.  By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, for I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight.  I forsake not... my country, my mission my comrades, my sacred duty.  I am relentless.  I am always there, now and forever.  I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
