What is the Papa Company's motto?

• A. Proud and Ready
• B. Always Prepared
• C. Ready and Resilient
• D. Duty First

Answer: (A)

Unit mottos capture how a unit wants to present itself and stay focused on its mission. Papa Company's motto, “Proud and Ready,” combines morale with preparedness, sending a clear message that Soldiers should carry themselves with pride while staying prepared for any task. The concise phrasing makes it memorable and easy to rally around, reinforcing both professionalism and readiness in daily duties.

Other options shift the emphasis: “Always Prepared” centers on constant readiness but isn’t the official motto here; “Ready and Resilient” adds resilience as a focus, which isn’t the stated motto for this unit; and “Duty First” stresses prioritizing duty above all, which is a different ethical emphasis and not the Papa Company slogan.
