The Sapper Creed
I am a Sapper, the cutting edge of my country’s sword.
I will always endeavor to complete my Sapper mission,
regardless of available assets.
My flexibility and special training shall provide my task force
with the tools to overcome insurmountable odds.
I realize that I will be called upon for my expertise in all
aspects of mobility, counter mobility, and survivability.
The failure to effectively accomplish my mission could cost the
lives of others.
I will set the example by keeping myself physically fit and
mentally tough.
I will strive to sharpen my Sapper skills and the skills of those I
support.
Sappers Lead The Way!
