    SH 21-76 UNITED STATES ARMY HANDBOOK Not for the weak or fainthearted “Let the enemy come till he's almost close enough to touch. Then let him have it and jump out and finish him with your hatchet.” Major Robert Rogers, 1759 RANGER TRAINING BRIGADE United States Army Infantry School Fort Benning, Georgia FEBRUARY 2011 RANGER CREED Recognizing that I volunteered as a Ranger, fully knowing the hazards of my chosen profession, I will always endeavor to uphold the prestige, honor, and high esprit de corps of the Rangers. Acknowledging the fact that a Ranger is a more elite Soldier who arrives at the cutting edge of battle by land, sea, or air, I accept the fact that as a Ranger my country expects me to move further, faster, and fight harder than any other Soldier. Never shall I fail my comrades I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong, and morally straight and I will shoulder more than my share of the task whatever it may be, one hundred percent and then some. Gallantly will I show the world that I am a specially selected and well trained Soldier. My courtesy to superior officers, neatness of dress, and care of equipment shall set the example for others to follow. Energetically will I meet the enemies of my country. I shall defeat them on the field of battle for I am better trained and will fight with all my might. Surrender is not a Ranger word. 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.

  • By Allan Houser (1914–1994) Was Sculpted in Bronze and Measures 46 1/2 Inches X 21 Inches X 10 Inches
    COVER ART The cover art, “Timeless Images,” by Allan Houser (1914–1994) was sculpted in bronze and measures 46 1/2 inches x 21 inches x 10 inches. During his lifetime, Houser produced nearly 1000 sculptures in stone, wood and bronze, and he emerged as a major fig- ure on an international scale. Houser’s work has been featured in gallery and museum exhibitions throughout the United States, Europe and Asia for five decades and he received honors such as the National Medal of the Arts from President George Bush in 1992. His first major marble carving was “Comrade in Mourning,” a commis- sioned work completed in 1948 as a memorial to Native American students from the Haskell Institute in Lawrence, Kansas, who died in World War II. This renowned artist of the American Southwest left a legacy for future generations. His mediums have included everything from charcoal and pastel drawings to acrylic, tem- pera, casein and watercolors. As a sculptor, Houser continued a lineage that could be traced to the massive, expressive figures of Auguste Rodin and Gaston Lachaise. N ATIVE A MERICAN C ONTRIBUTIONS TO W INTER S PORTS ©2001 SLOC.

  • Indigenous Long–Term Participant Development Pathway
    Long–Term Participant Development Pathway 1.2 Long–Term Indigenous Sport for Life ABORIGINAL SPORT CIRCLE Preface This document presents a roadmap for developing sport and physical activity among First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. The Indigenous Long-Term Participant Development Pathway is a reference for those who work with Indigenous participants in sport and recreation. The Indigenous Long-Term Participant Development Pathway has grown out of the understanding that mainstream pathways for sport development do not necessarily align with Indigenous needs or experiences. As such, the Indigenous Long-Term Participant Development Pathway tries to address that gap by outlining the key elements that need to be considered when planning, developing, and implementing programs for and with Indigenous peoples and Indigenous communities. Indigenous peoples across Canada live diverse some cases, helps them to engage in more appropriate experiences. For instance, nearly half of First Nations activity during their free time while they find their way peoples live off reserve in towns and cities. Some First in the world. Nations migrate back and forth between the city and their reserve, and this poses unique challenges for In the Truth and Reconciliation Report (2015), sport athlete development. As well, while some Indigenous and recreation are identified as tools for social peoples are moving up the socio-economic ladder, development to improve the health and wellbeing of many still are not. Many face a disproportionate individuals and communities. This is the underlying level of poverty, lower educational outcomes, health rationale for this resource – to save lives and to build problems, substance and alcohol abuse, and other healthier Indigenous peoples, who contribute to issues.
