Constellis Group, comprised of ACADEMI, Triple Canopy and others, announced today it has agreed to bring Olive Group, a company based in the Middle East, into its group.

The deal is meant to increasingly move Constellis into commercial work, the company said.

Olive Group, which has about 5,000 employees and offices in the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom and the United States, specializes in security, program management and technology for the energy, aviation and infrastructure industries. Under the merger, Olive Group's management team will remain in place and its founders will join Constellis Group's board of directors.

Constellis Group is based in Reston, VA, and has about 4,000 employees. It includes ACADEMI -- the follow-on company to Blackwater -- as well as Edinburgh International, Strategic Social and Triple Canopy. It specializes in security, logistics, information, medical and life support services.
