About Us
Established in 2005, Patriot Defense Group (PDG) has a proven history of delivering highly cleared intelligence professionals who provide critical analysis, counterintelligence, and HUMINT support to the Department of Defense, Special Operations Forces, and the Intelligence Community. Our mission is to advance and sustain national security objectives through specialized training, expeditionary logistics, and comprehensive operational program support. With deep expertise in Global Pursuit, Crisis Response, Sensitive Activities, Unconventional Warfare, and Advanced Special Operations, PDG delivers tailored solutions that ensure mission success across the full spectrum of SOF and Intelligence operations.
Founded by a former U.S. Army Special Forces veteran and CIA Case Officer, PDG was among the first private companies to deliver advanced tradecraft training to Joint Special Operations Command Special Mission Units and U.S. SOCOM. Building on this foundation, PDG has evolved into a trusted provider of embedded intelligence analysts, CI/HUMINT specialists, and mission support personnel across multiple disciplines.
Acquisition & Leadership
In February 2025, PDG was acquired by Arcanum Federal Solutions, LLC, with strategic backing from Magellan Investment Holdings, LTD, a $30 billion global enterprise. This acquisition expanded PDG’s resources, reinforced its corporate infrastructure, and strengthened its ability to recruit, retain, and deploy top-tier cleared professionals. The partnership provides the financial strength and organizational depth to scale capabilities while preserving the operational focus and mission alignment that have defined PDG since its founding.
Today, PDG is led by President and CEO Jared Ross, a 24-year USSOCOM veteran with 17 years of experience in a JSOC Special Mission Unit. His operational expertise, combined with robust corporate backing, ensures PDG’s services remain mission-relevant, customer-focused, and optimized to deliver maximum value to the warfighter.
Heritage & Values
From its beginnings as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), Patriot Defense Group has grown into a large business with the resources, infrastructure, and past performance to deliver enterprise-level solutions while retaining the agility and mission-first culture of its origins.
PDG has earned a reputation as a reliable and sophisticated partner, successfully performing on prime IDIQ contracts and supporting some of the most demanding end users within the SOCOM enterprise, the Department of Defense, and across the U.S. government.
At Patriot Defense Group, our culture is defined by service, discretion, and operational excellence. We remain dedicated to being a 360-degree provider of specialized support and mission-essential expertise to those who defend America.
