The Battle Captain's Creed

A couple of my officemates and I got together and created a Battle Captain's Creed to detail what we do and what mentality we should take to get our job done. 

The Army has a creed for everything, the NCO Creed, the Officer's Creed, and the Soldier's Creed...now we have a Battle Captain's Creed.

Acronyms are explained at the bottom
