MISSION STATEMENT

Welcome to Mayhem Defense!

Hey Team,

I’m SGT. Jason "Mayhem" Scowden, and I’m excited to have you here. I’m a Husband, Father, Brother, and Son, but I’m also a shooter, tactician, and a proud Veteran of the US Army. My primary role in the military was communications, and while I was exceptionally skilled in comms—an essential element for success—I was just as proficient in battle drills. "Shoot, move, and communicate" was the core of our training, and with 22 months of combat experience in Afghanistan, I’ve brought those lessons back home.

After leaving the military, I had opportunities to stay in IT, but I knew my true calling was in a different path. I decided to use my experiences to help others, passing on the knowledge that saved lives and helped me survive in some of the world’s toughest environments.

In the greatest fighting force the world has ever seen, we didn’t just focus on shooting. We learned about movement, medical response, survival, combatives, communications, fitness, leadership, teamwork, and much more. Mayhem Defense was born out of the desire to bring these well-rounded skills to the average person, in a way that’s practical and accessible. My goal is to offer this training in the most cost-effective manner, ensuring that anyone, regardless of budget, can get the skills they need to be safer, more prepared, and more confident.

For all the gear and equipment we use and test, check out the Supply Tab for links to get it for yourself. Don't forget to explore the Training Area for free printable targets, drills, and other resources to help you on your journey. Our Tactical Operations Center (TOC) includes the Mission Board and the latest Situation Report (SitRep) to keep you informed and on track.

We’re building a family here—one that’s focused on training, growing, and staying prepared for anything. I’m looking forward to working with you, training alongside you, and achieving greatness together.

Stand Ready. Stay Prepared.

Sarge Mayhem Out!
