E. Montana Avenue runs through El Paso (US Hwy 62), but is just south of Fort Bliss where the camp is being built.

Mystery surrounds $1.2B Army contract to build huge detention tent camp in Texas​

The company also lacks a functioning website and lists as its address a modest home in suburban Virginia owned by a 77-year-old retired Navy flight officer.

[Acquisition Logistics' previous biggest contract with the government was $16 million.]
