InGen's company logo.
The InGen security Division was founded in 1993 or before as a small security firm. Their only task at the time was to protect InGen's ambitious project Jurassic Park.
Logo of Masrani Global.
Masrani Global Corporation acquired InGen as well as its security division in 1997. InGen Security protected construction workers on Isla Nublar from its wildlife from 2002-2004 during construction of Jurassic World, which they have protected as well ever since its opening.
Simon Masrani, CEO of the Masrani Corporation, personally hired Vic Hoskins because of how well him and his team handled the "clean up" of 3 escaped Pteranadons from Isla Sorna who had traveled all the way to Canada in 2001. Under Vic Hoskins, the InGen Security went from a small, private security firm into a paramilitary organisation. They gained a partnership with the United Security Council and has kept a watch on Isla Nublar, Isla Sorna and their neighboring islands.
The ACU's main role seems to be making sure none of the dinosaurs escape their enclosures and paddocks. They use a type of stun gun-like rifle to stun or tranquelize them. The troopers are outfitted with a piece of technology to track their heart rate and vitality to ensure they themselves are safe, as well as some having mounted cameras to see what they see.
Their loadout consists of mostly 5.11 products. Especially the TacTec plate carrier vest which is seen being used by the troopers for the first time on the screen.
A list of their loadout below.

Kryptek Typhon Pants
5.11 ARES Gear Belt
5.11 Stryke pants
5.11 Recon boots

The Kryptek Typhon pattern that is seen throughout the movie as part of the uniform for the ACU troopers was theorized on a blog that since Typhon was too dark to be used in the jungle, the production team had used Kryptek Mandrake, a much brighter version of the Typhon that's used for desert
or forest areas.
The uniforms were then dyed in blue. Which is a dangerously expensive method if a mistake is met during the process. Typhon is actually a darker color which is mostly black and grey within the pattern. The ACU use a typhon-like pattern for the exception of the blue toned color on them.
The tracker watch seen in the movie as Hamada checks for the Indominus Rex's position is a Samsung Galaxy Gear watch. It is possible this is also how the control room can track their vitals and status on the monitor screen in the movie.
The Isla Nublar Incident (2015)
An ACU trooper firing his UTS-15 shotgun at the incoming Indominus Rex.
An Asset Containment Unit team consisting of Katashi Hamada, Lee, Craig, and several others were called to stop the Indominus Rex'es rampage. During their pursuit, they had found her signal and stopped nearby her. Approaching to a small stream, they find a piece of meat with the tracker on her.

To their surprise, apparently she remembered where they put it on her and clawed it out on her own. Using the tracker as bait, she ambushed the commander, Hamada, killing most of the team and leaving few alive if not all dead. The squad was almost wiped out considering that they were only carrying non-lethal weaponry. Their squad had only utilized UTAS-15 shotguns, Electrical batons with stun rounds, and Net-snare guns.
An ACU trooper is grabbed by the Indominus Rex.
It had greatly proved the Indominus Rex could hold out on its own and made the ACU's weapons incredibly ineffective against it. Many other security soldiers were also killed after first contact with the Indominus Rex.
