Months before Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales were to travel to Boston – their first trip to the United States since 2014 – a little-known US government agency swung into action.

The royal couple begin a three-day tour of Massachusetts on Wednesday that will conclude with an awards ceremony on Friday evening.

Agents of the Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) — diplomats with badges and firearms — make up their protection detail, according to two senior DSS officials who spoke to ABC News.

“We are the law enforcement and security arm of the U.S. Department of State and we protect the Secretary of State, foreign dignitaries visiting U.S. foreign ministers, former chiefs of state, members of the royal family, in this case, as well as U.S. citizens, athletes, corporate sponsors,” said Andrew Wroblewski, deputy assistant secretary and deputy director of the Diplomatic Security Service (DSS) of the US State Department for domestic operations.

Wroblewski, who himself served on various protection details during his tenure at the agency, said they were working with the UK to firm up the protection schedule and strategy.
