Information from Military Infantry Brigade Patches History4

The Volunteer Spirit & Tennessee, an inseparable combination since 1780 when Col. John Sevier called for "100 good men" - and 200 answered - has been a source of pride for generations of Tennesseans. Today, that spirit is still alive & well with over 10,600 Tennesseans serving their Community, State, & Nation.

As a part of the Tennessee Army National Guard, the 278th Armored Cavalry Regiment serves a dual purpose. Under state command, the Regiment may be used to quell civil disturbances and to provide assistance and support during natural disasters. As a result, the Regiment must train to meet both Federal and State training requirements.

    The Soldier's Creed

    I am an American Soldier.
    I am a Warrior and a member of a team.
    I serve the people of the United States and live the Army Values.

    I will always place the mission first.
    I will never accept defeat.
    I will never quit.
    I will never leave a fallen comrade.

    I am disciplined, physically and mentally tough, trained and proficient in my warrior tasks and drills.
    I always maintain my arms, my equipment and myself.
    I am an expert and I am a professional.
    I stand ready to deploy, engage, and destroy the enemies of the United States of America in close combat.

    I am a guardian of freedom and the American way of life.

    I am an American Soldier.

    I. I am an American soldier - a protector of the greatest nation on earth - sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States.

    II. I will treat others with dignity and respect and expect others to do the same.

    III. I will honor my Country, the Army, my unit and my fellow soldiers by living the Army values.

    IV. No matter what situation I am in, I will never do anything, for pleasure, profit, or personal safety, which will disgrace my uniform, my unit, or my Country.

    V. Lastly, am proud of my Country and its flag. I want to look back and say that I am proud to have served my Country as a soldier.

    American Soldier

    I am an American Soldier. I am a member of the United States Army -- a protector of the greatest nation on earth. Because I am proud of the uniform I wear, I will always act in ways creditable to the military service and the nation it is sworn to guard.

    I am proud of my own organization. I will do all I can to make it the finest unit in the Army. I will be loyal to those under whom I serve. I will do my full part to carry out orders and instructions given to me or my unit.

    As a soldier, I realize that I am a member of a time-honored profession--that I am doing my share to keep alive the principles of freedom for which my country stands. No matter what the situation I am in, I will never do anything, for pleasure, profit, or personal safety, which will disgrace my uniform, my unit, or my country. I will use every means I have, even beyond the line of duty, to restrain my Army comrades from actions disgraceful to themselves and to the uniform.

    I am proud of my country and its flag. I will try to make the people of this nation proud of the service I represent, for I am an American Soldier.
