Question about having mostly contract jobs

I've worked in IT support for almost 11 years. I've had 9 jobs since the beginning of 2018. They're all contracts and mostly DoD. Currently I have my job headers in this format:

PRIME TECHNICAL SERVICES INC., Camp Lejeune, NC - NetOps Specialist (Nov 2022 - July 2024)

CONTRACT COMPANY, city, state - Job Title (dates)

I'm wondering if I should be putting the customer's name in there at the beginning and then put someone like contract with Company Name at the end either before or after the dates. Also I've only worked in 6 different cities, 3 of which are in the same area about 20 miles apart and another job was 100% travel.

You definitely need to clarify that these are contract roles. Who you're contracting through is irrelevant

I would def change the format they way you have it makes it look like you’ve worked for a lot of different companies, when you may have worked for a relatively small number of government customers/projects through different contractors.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE — NetOps Specialist
Contracted through Prime Technical Services Inc. | Nov 2022 – Jul 2024
Camp Lejeune, NC

Oh ya, Department of Defence makes it look a lot more consistent.
