Budget estimate

$5,000,000 – $15,000,000

No contract value is disclosed; however, comparable overseas guard contracts for U.S. embassies typically range from a few million to tens of millions of dollars annually, depending on staff size, equipment, and support services. Based on the extensive capabilities required (24/7 staffing, equipment, training, compliance, and logistics), a reasonable estimate would be between $5 million and $15 million per year.
