About

Exceeding Expectations …Since 1975

Alaska Defenseâ„¢ (Alaska) team members’ experiences and backgrounds vary greatly giving Alaska a unique advantage over other building companies. We are an energetic and goal-oriented team determined to further our stance as the world’s leader in military shelter systems.

For over 40 years, Alaska Defense, formerly the Military Division of Alaska Structures, Inc., has practiced a strategic support plan designed to offer our customers the greatest value in our products and our services. This plan has incorporated a diversity of experience by drawing many of our top technical support specialists from the industries we serve. We have hired this team from multiple industries including construction, mining, oil and gas, medical, emergency response, logistics, government and military. We recruit the most qualified and knowledgeable people in their fields so that our professional and technical team includes those with PhD’s and team members with 40 years experience in these industries.

This expert team is here to serve our customers. We can meet with you at the office nearest to you or we are ready and willing to come to your office or your site. We will assist you with site analysis, foundation requirements, specifications, and design. Our field installation team is next to none, including Alaska project supervision with more than 20 years experience in the most extreme environments on Earth.

We strongly believe that happy and healthy employees will offer the best, most positive, and timely support to our customers. Therefore, our employees work in a strongly supportive environment. The success of this is evident in our employee’s longevity. 91% of our executive and management team has been employed at Alaska Defense for over 10 years. That’s more than 200% the national average and approximately 1/2 of this executive team has been with Alaska Defense for over 20 years, 400% better than the national average. And, we have had zero turnover in 9 out of 12 departments in the past three years! What company can say that amidst the economic turmoil we’ve been experiencing recently?

Unique environment and opportunities include:

  • Profit Sharing
  • Health insurance packages available
  • 401k Safe Harbor Company Contributions per year
  • On-Site Fitness Center
  • Leadership training offered to all employees
  • Employee Bonus Plan (Entry-Level to Top-Level Executives)
  • 21 Paid Volunteer Days per Year
  • Paid vacations after 1st year of employment

For the past decade, approximately 25% of Alaska Defense employees have taken all these volunteer days to go with the Hotes Foundation to help those less fortunate than ourselves. This large group of employees have risked their health and sometimes even their lives to go to some of the most poverty stricken areas of the world to work 15-hour days serving them.

Additionally, our supplier relationships are all at least 20 years strong and some are longer than 30 years. This provides our customers with a systemic integrity and expanded support base, which is rarely experienced in any industry. In addition, this relationship success signals to customers that we are loyal and committed to all of our business relationships.

You can rely on the Alaska Defense team for the highest level of responsiveness. We will be there for you.
