New Protective Services Award Supports Army Mission in the Marshall Islands

MARSHALL ISLANDS — Acuity International LLC, based in Reston, Virginia, has secured a Kwajalein security contract supporting the U.S. Army in the Republic of the Marshall Islands. The Global Protective Services task order covers operations across Kwajalein and Roi-Namur. Acuity has not disclosed the award’s value.

“Security at a remote island installation depends on more than guard coverage. This award brings patrols, maritime security, emergency response and personnel readiness together to support the Army’s mission across Kwajalein and Roi-Namur.”

Kwajalein security contract covers land and maritime operations

Under the task order, Acuity will provide armed guards, access control, credentialing, dispatch and roving patrols. Additionally, the scope includes maritime security, emergency response, training and personnel readiness.

The company plans to mobilize personnel through screening, training and ongoing readiness management. It also says its approach allows teams to respond to changing security requirements across both islands.

In its October announcement, Acuity said it was preparing to begin transition activities. The release did not specify a performance period or task-order number.

Supporting a Pacific missile and space mission

Kwajalein hosts the Army’s Ronald Reagan Space and Missile Test Range, which supports missile testing, space operations and space surveillance. Its workforce includes military personnel, government civilians, technical contractors and scientists.

Meanwhile, the garrison’s geography adds another layer to support requirements. Army garrison information places Kwajalein Island and Roi-Namur approximately 50 miles apart. Security coverage therefore spans separate island locations within the atoll.

Task order builds on Acuity’s Army GPS position

The award follows Acuity’s selection for the Army’s Global Protective Services program in June 2025. Army Contracting Command–Rock Island administers the 10-year vehicle with a shared $10.3 billion ceiling.

Under that structure, selected companies compete for individual task orders supporting specific missions. The $10.3 billion figure applies to the overall GPS program. Acuity has not announced a price for the Kwajalein order.
