Take a Knee...

A casual night of whiskey consumption at Fort Benning sparked the idea that led to Tango Kilo. Veteran owned and operated, Tango Kilo is a quality American Apparel brand designed to deliver a unique twist on a saying service members love to hate. Whether your ruck is too heavy, your feet are soaking wet, or your bird is taking too long to refuel, simply Take a Knee (TK), drink your favorite beverage, and continue moving.



Our Story
Tango Kilo Founder Bennett Smoot found his military career cut dramatically short by an auto immune disease and crippling arthritis that manifested after a lengthy stay at U.S. Army Ranger School. Forced to take a knee, one question always loomed during the transition to civilian life: "what do you want to do?" The answer was simple. Help Soldiers. Unable to continue to do so in uniform, Bennett views Tango Kilo as a vehicle to give back to the Veteran and Disabled Veteran community.
