Arcanum Global Press Release

February 27, 2025  – McLean, Virginia

Arcanum Federal Solutions, a premier leader in national security, intelligence, and mission support services is pleased to announce its acquisition of Patriot Defense Group (PDG). Known as the group “serving those who defend America,” PDG is a highly regarded and discreet provider of specialized training, operational support, expeditionary logistics to the USG’s most select intelligence and defense customers.

The founders of Arcanum and Patriot Defense Group bring deep-rooted expertise from distinguished careers in special operations and intelligence, creating a shared foundation of operational excellence and mission-driven focus. This alignment in values reinforces a mutual commitment to delivering innovative, high-impact solutions for our evolving national security challenges.

This strategic acquisition further strengthens the advanced capabilities currently deployed through Arcanum’s Mission Support Group (AMSG) offering, while significantly enhancing its portfolio of mission-critical Advanced HUMINT Tradecraft Training and Advanced Special Operations Training.

AMSG delivers integrated mission solutions for clients through three core enablers: logistics & supply chain, training & advisory, and multi-domain intelligence.

Ron Wahid, Chairman and CEO of Arcanum Federal Solutions stated, “over the past two years, few groups have remained as forward deployed as our Mission Support Group. To operate in today’s mission environment, you must leverage military-grade mission support capabilities with private-sector speed, innovation, and discretion to accomplish no-fail missions. This assessment is shared by the leadership of PDG and is imbued in the DNA of their team.”

Todd Wilcox, Co-founder and former CEO of PDG, remarked “We are thrilled to join forces with Arcanum, a leader renowned in particular for its global reach and comfort operating in no-fail mission environments. Now on the Arcanum platform, PDG will be able to scale its impact significantly.”
