Command

What Command does

Command Group, LLC is a privately held professional services firm headquartered in Washington, DC, founded in 2009 by four former senior U.S. government officials. The company operates as a family of eight interconnected subsidiaries delivering full-spectrum safety, security, and intelligence solutions to government authorities, private sector organizations (including Fortune 500 corporations and startups), educational institutions, non-profit and religious organizations, and high-net-worth individuals and families. The portfolio spans uniformed security personnel (Command Security Services), executive and VIP protection (Command Executive Services), maritime security for luxury super yachts (Command at Sea International), advisory consulting and risk management (Command Consulting), investigations and analysis (Command Global Services), federal contracting for defense, homeland security, intelligence, and civilian agencies (Command Federal Services), executive search for safety/security practitioners (Command Executive Search), and business advisory for the defense and intelligence marketplaces (Command Business Advisory).

The firm's core technology is its human capital: a roster of former senior U.S. government officials, U.S. Secret Service agents, federal law enforcement officers, intelligence community professionals, U.S. Coast Guard personnel, and Armed Forces operational leaders bringing decades of operational and management experience. This expertise is operationalized through proprietary methodologies such as CASI's risk-assessment-first yacht security framework, rigorous lab testing and operational validation of integrated security systems, and customized plans in compliance with Flag State, classification society, and naval engineering standards. The firm employs 140+ staff and draws on 150+ subject matter experts, supported by offices in Washington, DC; Dallas, Texas; and Mountain View, California (including a California Private Patrol Operator license, CA PPO - 119694158), with service delivery across six continents.

Command Group generates revenue through customized professional services engagements under project-based and recurring consulting arrangements, operating under government contracting vehicles for federal work. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is scoped per engagement. Distribution is direct: enterprise field sales and relationship-based engagement through the leadership network, with no resellers, distributors, or marketplace channels. The firm is founder-owned with no venture capital, private equity, or parent company identified, and no public listing, M&A activity, or funding rounds are evidenced in the source material.
