Amentum announced Monday that it has traded its Hawaii digs in Aiea for a much larger Honolulu facility and, in the process, rolled out a new Center for Contested Logistics aimed squarely at supporting U.S. Indo-Pacific Command missions. The company says the Honolulu hub will zero in on planning, experimentation and technology integration to keep forces supplied when traditional supply chains come under threat. The move lands as the Pentagon and its contractors scramble to harden logistics for contested theaters across the region.
In a press release carried by Business Wire and reported by the Bluefield Daily Telegraph, Amentum said it has shifted from its former Aiea office into new space at 3375 Koapaka Street in Honolulu, a relocation that quadruples the size of its local headquarters. The same announcement formally unveiled the Center for Contested Logistics, described by the company as a hub for solving modern warfare logistics problems and tightening support to USINDOPACOM missions. Amentum says the expanded footprint is designed to accelerate delivery of C5ISR and sustainment solutions across the Indo-Pacific.
What the contested logistics center will do
Contested logistics, defined as moving and sustaining forces when adversaries can disrupt routes, ports, communications and infrastructure, has become a named priority for the military in the Indo-Pacific, according to the U.S. Army. The Army notes that AI-driven planning tools, unmanned resupply and distributed basing are among the approaches being tested to keep forces equipped in denied or degraded environments. Amentum’s new center is intended to speed up experiments and prototypes that connect commercial technologies with real-world theater sustainment needs.
Local footprint and why Honolulu matters
Amentum already arrived in Hawaii with a sizable footprint. The company opened its Aiea office in 2023 and says it now has more than 500 employees across the islands, providing a ready local workforce and existing contracts to build on, per Amentum. Relocating to a larger site in Honolulu drops the center closer to Oʻahu-based military commands, regional partners and the logistics nodes that underpin major joint exercises. For Honolulu, the expansion reinforces the island’s role as a staging and sustainment hub for Indo-Pacific operations, not just a postcard backdrop…
