1. Purpose. This MARADMIN announces the publication of the Marine 
Corps Artificial Intelligence, Data, and Software (ADS) Information 
Resource Manual (IRM). The IRM provides the enterprise capabilities, 
guardrails, and processes to accelerate adoption, eliminate redundant
procurement, and align AI and data initiatives to enterprise 
cybersecurity and portfolio management requirements.
2. Enterprise Platforms. A baseline of capabilities is identified 
that can be leveraged for ADS requirements that are aligned with 
USMC, DON and DoW. These capabilities provide data analytics, AI 
tools, and localized coding environments without the need for 
organizations to procure individualized or redundant solutions. 
The available enterprise capabilities include the War Data Platform 
(WDP), Maven Smart System (MSS), GenAI.mil, Low-Code Application 
Development Platform (LCAP), Local Development & Data Science 
Environment, and Tactical Assault Kit (TAK).
3. Enterprise Data. Enterprise datasets have been made available to 
support ADS initiatives. Details of available data spanning manpower,
readiness, logistics, and financial domains, access instructions, and
governance requirements are available within the IRM.
4. Enterprise Governance. ADS initiatives shall comply with all 
policy, portfolio management, acquisition, and cybersecurity 
requirements. Additional information on these compliance requirements
can be found in the IRM.
5. Portfolio Management. ADS capabilities developed using enterprise 
platforms are required to comply with portfolio management 
requirements. Prior to initiating the development of ADS capabilities,
organizations are advised to consult the USMC AI Working Group and 
the applicable FAM. Capabilities developed in enterprise platforms 
will be assessed quarterly to determine portfolio management 
compliance.  Applicable portfolio management policies are listed in 
the IRM. 
6. Cybersecurity. ADS capabilities developed using enterprise 
platforms that operate within the scope of the approved platform 
authorization to operate do not require additional cybersecurity or 
Cybersecurity Risk Management Construct (CSRMC) actions. The use of 
personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health 
information (PHI), regardless of platform accreditation, requires a 
privacy impact assessment and approval for each specific use of PII 
or PHI data.
7.   Additional Capabilities. In accordance with refs (b) through (g),
organizations identifying a mission requirement in addition to those 
currently provided by the enterprise, must coordinate with FAMs to 
determine the appropriate capability development and approval 
process. A complete list of FAMs, their functional boundaries, and 
points of contact is provided within the IRM.
8.   Resources. The IRM can be accessed via the following methods.
