  Distance: 29.5 km

  EVENT IS OPEN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. MILITARY AND CIVILIAN WELCOMED

  The Tau Gamma Gamma Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Incorporated proudly presents the 2nd Triple Nickle Remembrance Run at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. This event is dedicated to honoring and preserving the legacy of the trailblazing Paratroopers who played a pivotal role in integrating Airborne operations into the U.S. Army.

  The Legacy of the Triple Nickle

  The 555th Parachute Infantry Battalion, known as the Triple Nickle, was the first all-Black airborne unit in U.S. military history. Formed in 1943 during World War II, the battalion marked a significant milestone in the ongoing fight for racial equality in the Armed Forces. Despite completing rigorous training at Fort Benning, Georgia, and Fort Bragg, North Carolina, the 555th was never deployed overseas due to segregation policies and the military’s reluctance to integrate Black Soldiers into combat units.

  Operation Firefly: A Unique Mission

  In 1945, the Triple Nickle was tasked with a critical domestic mission: Operation Firefly. Partnering with the U.S. Forest Service, they became Smokejumpers—elite Paratroopers who leaped into remote areas to combat wildfires. Many of these fires were ignited by Japanese balloon bombs, designed to create chaos and divert wartime resources. Over the course of the operation, the 555th completed more than 1,200 jumps, demonstrating exceptional bravery and adaptability in a non-traditional military role.

  A Legacy of Courage and Change

  The battalion was later absorbed into the 82nd Airborne Division, paving the way for full military integration, officially enacted by President Truman in 1948. The legacy of the Triple Nickle endures as a powerful symbol of courage, resilience, and the ongoing fight against racial discrimination.

  Join us for the 5.55-mile run along Fort Bragg’s Liberty Trail as we honor these heroes and celebrate their lasting impact!
