Target Hospitality is based in The Woodlands, Texas, and also has offices in Boston, Massachusetts; Williston, North Dakota; Denver, Colorado; Edmonton, Alberta, and Sydney, Australia.

Along with designing and constructing these accommodations, Target Hospitality provides facility management and on-site services such as, catering, security, housekeeping, operations and maintenance, and transportation.

Target Hospitality is owned by Algeco Scotsman, a business services provider focused on modular space and secure storage.

[2] Target Logistics provided temporary housing for the FBI, Secret Service, and other government security personnel during the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah.

In 2012, Target Logistics continued its work in the oil industry and expanded into South Texas to support the Permian Basin and the Eagle Ford Shale operations.

In this year, Target Logistics also introduced its mobile crew camps, which are self-contained, movable structures designed for operations that need to relocate frequently, such as pipeline transport and transmission line construction.

In February 2013, Target Logistics was acquired by Algeco Scotsman, a company headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, that provides modular space, temporary building systems, and storage solutions.

[7] Target Lodging formerly specialized in group travel and travel-related logistics services; however, the company shifted its focus to temporary housing that primarily serves the oil, gas and mining industries.

Target Lodging also built and managed a 700-person modular camp in New Orleans with running water, electricity, and on-site kitchen services.

Company representative Rick Perkins stated in court that there had been no complaints of rape or sexual harassment at man camps run by Target Logistics despite reports to the contrary.

The facilities in their study range from the professionally operated lodges such as those run by Target Hospitality, to areas that have people living in tents and trailers without basic amenities.

[22] Some of the negative effects of the influx of workers include increased crime rates that have been recorded in oil producing counties [23] and strains on law enforcement, emergency services, as well as infrastructure such as roads, water, and sewerage.
