The story

Command Group was founded in 2009 by W. Ralph Basham, Joe Hagin, Steve Atkiss and Thad Bingel, all former senior officials in the U.S. government.

Basham served as the head of four of the eight operational components which makeup what is now the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, including the United States Secret Service, US Customs and Border Protection, the Transportation Security Administration and the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center.

Command Group principals have been outspoken critics of Boeing Corporation's handling of the Secure Border Initiative Program, SBInet. They have also commented on the 2011 Tucson shooting and how to keep members of Congress and high-net-worth individuals safe.
