5th Squad The 5th Squad was created in January 2016 by four founding members of the 184th ESC. These guys wanted to be different. The club would be named the 5th Squad.

5th Squad, a 501(c)(3) Veteran nonprofit, supports Mississippi Veterans in crisis through Quick Reaction Funds (QRF), addressing urgent needs such as utilities, housing, and groceries. The First IV wanted a club to keep everyone together when the military decided to do its best to separate. The First IV wanted to stand out from among the other soldiers, other veterans. The Club was started on the idea of doing for others. The First IV members were Adam Austin, Michael Collins, Zach Morehead and Lee Stringer. Over several months and many long nights of sharing wisdom and lies, a club name and mascot was finally decided on. The reason for this name is because they wanted to have a name with military significance but also not too “HOOAH”. All formations have four squads. The 5th Squad is part of the formation but also not a part of it at the same time. The Wolf pack and wolf paw was also decided on as part of the club. The club is similar to a wolf pack in that they are not all in the same blood family but they have chosen to be a part of each others family. To be stronger together and have a bond like no other. The 5th Squad has evolved from a “club” into an organization with a vision of helping make the world around us a better place. Our main focuses are God, country and family. The 5th Squad have started and sponsored two main charities, Ruck for Rugrats and Jacob Campbell Golf Scramble. We assist Veterans in Mississippi with immediate, life sustaining needs.

While America slept in peace, the men of Task Force Ranger were fighting for their lives in the streets of Mogadishu, Somalia.

On October 3–4, 1993, for 17 brutal hours, American warriors fought block by block, refusing to quit and refusing to leave their brothers behind.

When the battle ended, 80 Americans were wounded, one was captured, and 18 made the ultimate sacrifice.

Their courage never wavered.
Their brotherhood never broke.
Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Honor their fight. Remember their names. Carry their legacy.

NEVER FORGET.

WHAT. A. DAY.

The 7th Annual Campbell Scramble was absolutely incredible.

There are honestly so many people to thank that we could write this post a hundred different ways and still leave somebody out. Yesterday was one of those days that reminded us exactly why this event is so special.

First, a huge THANK YOU to Milwaukee Tool, our Title Sponsor, for believing in what we do and helping make this event possible.

Thank you to Mr. Steve Grantham, Outback Steakhouse, and JR Restaurant Group for once again taking care of everyone and providing an incredible meal. Y’all always show up for us, and we appreciate it more than you know.

Thank you to Cody Russell and Merritt Productions for spending the day behind the camera, running all over that golf course and capturing the players, the laughs, the teams, and so many of the moments that made yesterday special.

Thank you to COMSOUTH for donating radios! They were and will be a huge help with all our events!

And most of all, THANK YOU TO OUR VOLUNTEERS.

Our 5th Squad members. Our Auxiliary members. Our prospects. Our friends. The people who showed up early, stayed late, hauled coolers, loaded trailers, handled registration, delivered food and drinks, solved problems, cleaned up, laughed until we hurt, and did whatever needed to be done.

Every person you saw working yesterday was a volunteer.

Nobody had to be there.

They were there because they believe in the mission, they believe in each other, and they believe in taking care of Veterans.

It was a long day. It was a lot of work. And it was one hell of a good time.

To every player, sponsor, donor, business, volunteer, and friend who had anything to do with yesterday, THANK YOU.

We could say it a million times and it still wouldn't be enough.

Seven years of The Campbell.

Seven years of saying his name.

Seven years of bringing people together, having a damn good time, and turning that good time into something that helps Veterans and their families.

Jacob Campbell’s name and story continue to live on, and yesterday was another chapter worth remembering.

From all of us at 5th Squad, thank you for making the 7th Annual Campbell Scramble one for the books.

Veterans Helping Veterans. 🇺🇸

🎉 Happy Birthday to the warrior, the Marine and Soldier, the cigar-smoking legend himself — Doug! 🎉

Loyal to the core, sharp as a KA-BAR, and calm under pressure (probably because he’s got a good cigar in hand). Whether in uniform or by the firepit, Doug lives and leads like the true warrior he is.

Here’s to you, brother — may your humidor stay full and your purpose stay sharp. Semper Fi & Hooah! 🥃🔥

🏠 WE’RE CLOSING NEXT WEEK!

5th Squad is officially getting closer to having a permanent home to support Mississippi Veterans. This has been years in the making, and we are almost across the finish line.

But we still need your help!

Every donation—$10, $25, $100 or more—helps us get closer to opening the doors of The Barracks and building a permanent place where Veterans can find resources, support, and the camaraderie they deserve.

If you can give, please give. If you can’t, share this post and help us reach someone who can.

🇺🇸 Veterans Helping Veterans. That’s what we do.

For over 10 years, 5th Squad has answered the call when Veterans n… Lee Stringer needs your support for Help Us Build the Barracks — Veterans Helping Veterans
