History

Arrow Security & Training, LLC (AST) was founded in 2005 in Nashua, New Hampshire by Joseph M. Lopez.  His primary effort was to assist and train our nation’s warriors prior to their deployment to the Afghanistan and Iraq Theaters of Operation but also to support mission readiness for troops deploying worldwide.

Utilizing Mr. Lopez’s Special Forces experience, AST designed and developed a number of critical training programs specifically tailored to the Department of Defense, supporting its Global War on Terror. As AST’s reputation and capabilities grew, so did the demand for customized training services. AST has expanded its services by offering various types of role playing which enhance the training experience, as well as language and cultural immersion programs worldwide for a wide range of government agencies. AST has experienced exponential growth and will continue to grow at a steady pace.  Our services are indispensable to both the Government and civilian sector alike as they prepare to meet the challenges of today’s changing global atmosphere.
