FAQ

Our company has been known by “PAE” for decades. The official name of the original legal entity which was incorporated in California in 1955 is Pacific Architects & Engineers Incorporated. At this time, our company was heavily engaged in the rebuilding of Japan after WWII. Over the years, we have added many more capabilities to our portfolio and have expanded the scope of our operations beyond the Pacific theater. However, the name PAE remains, as a reference to our origins and our decades of proud service to the U.S. government. For more information on PAE's history, please visit Our History page.

PAE operates in over 60 countries, on all seven continents. Please refer to our Global Footprint map to view the location of our current operations.
