ALWAYS HAVE EACH OTHER'S BACKS
Street Battalion – Moose Jaw Unit
“Always have each other’s backs.”
Street Battalion is more than an idea, more than a name, and more than a loose collection of people who walk the same streets. It is a ground-level movement built on unity, strength, and the quiet resilience of those who know what it means to stand alone—but choose not to let others do the same. Founded in Moose Jaw, Street Battalion carries a mission rooted in authentic lived experience: surviving hardship, supporting the overlooked, and building brotherhood in places where it doesn’t usually exist.
Born from the lessons of homelessness, struggle, and self-reliance, Street Battalion represents a new kind of unit—one not bound by military structure, but inspired by the discipline, symbolism, and warrior spirit found in military culture. Members express themselves through practical or surplus gear, camouflage, or tactical wear, but at its core, the Battalion is about inner strength, not uniforms.
The anchor of this movement is its motto:
“Always have each other’s backs.”
This single line captures everything the Battalion stands for—protection, solidarity, and unwavering loyalty among those who choose to be part of something greater than themselves.

The Four Pillars of Street Battalion
These pillars form the backbone of the Battalion’s mission and identity:
---
1. Support
Survival—urban or wilderness—requires more than skills. It requires people. Street Battalion promotes a culture where no member is left to face their struggles alone. Whether someone needs encouragement, advice, a listening ear, or real-world help, support is the foundation that keeps the Battalion strong. This isn’t charity. It’s comradeship rooted in shared experience.
---
2. Camaraderie
Street Battalion thrives on the bonds formed between individuals who have walked similar paths, fought similar battles, and earned their resilience the hard way. Camaraderie within the Battalion means belonging to a community where toughness, honesty, and authenticity are respected. It’s not forced friendship—it’s earned unity.
---
3. Advocacy
The Battalion stands for those society overlooks or misunderstands. Members speak up for people dealing with poverty, homelessness, isolation, or mental-health stigma. Advocacy doesn’t require politics or protests—it’s about using experience and presence to raise awareness and challenge misconceptions. Street Battalion becomes a voice for the voiceless.
---
4. Awareness
Awareness means situational readiness—not paranoia, but vigilance. Members stay mindful of their surroundings, the people around them, and the struggles others carry unseen. It is also awareness of self: knowing your strengths, your trauma, and your growth. This pillar bridges the internal and external—seeing clearly so you can act with purpose.

A Unit Built on Real Experience
Street Battalion did not come from a boardroom or branding meeting. It came from lived hardship—cold nights, long days, and the kind of solitude that makes a person understand what true resilience feels like. From the ashes of homelessness and the grind of survival, the Battalion rose as a symbol of personal strength and communal responsibility.
Each member chooses to wear something tactical, surplus, or camouflage to reflect their connection to the Battalion’s mentality: practical, rugged, resourceful. It’s not a costume—it’s a reminder of capability, identity, and the values the Battalion stands for.
Street Battalion is not a club, gang, or formal organization. It’s a battalion of spirit—a decentralized unit built by those who embrace toughness, self-reliance, and loyalty to one another.
