5.11 has teamed up with Tim Kennedy, Green Beret, Special Forces Sniper, Army Ranger, and ex-Professional MMA Fighter to serve as his official tactical gear and apparel sponsor. Kennedy will help communicate 5.11's mission of delivering the highest quality gear and apparel to outfit the most dedicated professionals and consumers leveraging his expansive military and professional fighting experience, according to the company.

Kennedy recently re-enlisted with the U.S. Special Forces, maintaining a long-standing attitude he subscribes to: "heart of a fighter." The company says it is his experience as a Green Beret, serving multiple deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan, sergeant first class with the Texas Army National Guard and UFC fighter that position Kennedy as an exemplary ambassador for the 5.11 brand.

5.11 is honored to serve law enforcement, firefighter, EMS, and military professionals, CrossFit, and tactical enthusiasts. 5.11's partnership with Tim Kennedy furthers its commitment to providing durable, top-quality gear and apparel for the consumers who possess a mission-ready mindset.

"5.11 Tactical was founded on the mindset of 'always be ready.' Tim Kennedy lives this on a daily basis through his continued military service and impressive MMA track record - making him an ideal ambassador for our brand," shared Willem Driessen, VP of Global Marketing for 5.11. "Tim's integrity, courage, and continued strive for excellence are qualities that we as a brand and our consumer really identify with. We are proud to call Tim part of our team."
