The team that he’s leading happens to be the same mysterious group that had known about Godzilla in that first movie. The group is known as the Monarch organization. Producer Alex Garcia explained to the site:

“It’s a landslide expedition, officially, but John Goodman, who plays the guy from Monarch, is sort of pulling the strings in the background and we come to realize obviously that they knew much more than they let on initially.”
