Which term refers to a formally affirmed promise to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic?

• A. Oath of Enlistment
• B. Courage
• C. Resiliency
• D. Profession

Answer: (D)

The term is the Oath of Enlistment. This is the formal pledge you take when you enlist, promising to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, and to bear true faith and allegiance to the same. That oath creates a binding commitment that guides your duties and loyalties as a service member, tying you to constitutional principles above all else. Courage, resiliency, and profession describe personal traits or a job focus, not a formal pledge to uphold the Constitution, so they don’t fit the concept described in the question.
