Mitchell’s tactical skillset is rooted in a decade of service as a U.S. Army Special Forces Green Beret, one of the most demanding and selective roles in the military. As a Green Beret from 2010-2020, Mitchell operated in some of the world’s harshest environments where reliability wasn’t a preference - it was survival. He’s carried rifles in dust storms, on mountains, and through conditions that destroy gear. And when something failed in the field, it wasn’t an inconvenience - it was life or death.

His firsthand knowledge of weapons performance, field failures, and mission-critical equipment makes him uniquely qualified to evaluate and endorse tactical innovations. His background in engineering operations, base sustainment, and on-the-ground mission execution across Afghanistan, Latvia, Bangladesh, and South Korea reflects a deep understanding of how equipment must perform under real-world stress. He has operated in complex environments where precision, reliability, and rapid adaptability were non-negotiable. From training international military units to overseeing critical infrastructure in combat zones, Mitchell developed the ability to assess gear quickly, identify failure points, and apply solutions that keep soldiers safer and more effective. That kind of field-tested insight is invaluable for any tactical product with the ambition to support the modern warfighter.

As a representative for Speed Tac, Mitchell brings authenticity, credibility, and practical operational expertise. He understands firsthand the challenges soldiers face, from weapon manipulation under pressure to maintaining equipment in unforgiving environments, and he can speak to how innovative tools like the Speed Tac Bolt Carrier directly impact performance in the field. His experience as both a trainer and leader gives him the ability to communicate complex tactical concepts clearly, while his reputation for professionalism and integrity makes him a trusted voice among military personnel. Mitchell embodies the exact qualities Speed Tac stands for: reliability, efficiency, and solutions designed by those who have lived the mission.
