UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE STRATEGY


The Marine Corps artificial intelligence (Al) strategy is a milestone in the Service's digital modernization effort. This strategy provides a framework for integrating Al across all levels of the Marine Corps to support better and faster decision­ making, reducing minutes to seconds across a myriad of functions. There are five goals, each supporting the creation and exploitation of optimizing decision advantage. The Marine Corps total force will come to understand that transformation to responsible Al models will improve how we access the right data, at the right time, and in the right place.

Success on the modern battlefield depends on several critical requirements, one of which is a comprehensive understanding of the operational environment. This understanding enables military forces to adapt, prepare for multi-domain operations, and enhance situational awareness. The war in Ukraine continues to demonstrate that Al is improving decision-making speed. This strategy sets the conditions for delivering modern Al capabilities to support decision advantage in expeditionary advanced base operations and littoral operations in contested environments.

Marines understand innovation, and this strategy will provide the pathway to invest in Marines with an aptitude for data analytics and data-centric operations.1 I am confident our Marines have the knowledge and ability to enable the commanders' decision making across each war fighting function. On the digital battlefield, from receipt of mission to the execution of tactical tasks, Al is an enabler for faster decision making and success.
