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.

Our fight for and with information needs Al now.
