The Marine Corps issued a new artificial intelligence strategy that is expected to guide the service’s efforts to integrate the technology across its enterprise, from the back office to the battlefield.
Lt. Gen. Matthew Glavy, deputy commandant for information, described the release of the document, which was announced publicly Wednesday, as a major milestone in the Marines’ pursuit of digital modernization.
“Our fight for and with information needs AI now,” he wrote in the foreword for the strategy, noting that the war in Ukraine is demonstrating how the tech can enable faster decision-making.
“This strategy sets the conditions for delivering modern AI capabilities to support decision advantage in expeditionary advanced base operations and littoral operations in contested environments,” Glavy added.
Leaders of the Corps see opportunities for AI applications across warfighting functions as well as business operations.
However, the service faces AI-related challenges, including misalignment of the technology with mission objectives, competency gaps, difficulty deploying capabilities at scale, governance frameworks that hinder innovation, and barriers to collaboration, according to the strategy.
