The War Department has launched an Artificial Intelligence Acceleration Strategy to enhance military AI capabilities and ensure U.S. dominance. This strategy, mandated by President Trump, eliminates bureaucratic delays while focusing on warfighting, intelligence, and enterprise operations. The goal is to lead in AI deployment across all military domains.
Warfighting: AI-Driven Combat Innovation
The Department is introducing three key projects under warfighting to integrate AI into military operations. Swarm Forge will combine elite combat units with tech innovators to test AI-based combat strategies. The project will explore scalable AI tactics through competitive testing to improve mission outcomes.
The Agent Network project will focus on AI-driven battle management, from campaign planning to tactical execution. Additionally, Ender’s Foundry will use AI simulations to advance training and adapt faster than AI-enabled adversaries.
These projects will be led by accountable leaders, each with aggressive timelines. The War Department aims to establish a new standard for AI execution within the military. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth emphasized, “We will eliminate bureaucratic barriers and demonstrate the execution approach needed to lead in military AI.” The projects will focus on operational effectiveness rather than process delays.
Intelligence: Turning Data into Combat Tools
In intelligence, the War Department is introducing Open Arsenal, which will speed up the process of converting technical intelligence into combat-ready tools. This project will enable faster deployment of intelligence, directly impacting battlefield outcomes.
Project Grant will focus on using AI to transform deterrence models, shifting from speculation to actionable pressure with clear results. These tools will improve decision-making through AI-enhanced intelligence, making military operations more agile.
The Department is prioritizing the rapid development and use of AI tools for intelligence without traditional delays. Intelligence operations will be aligned with real-time combat needs, ensuring that AI supports decision-making and mission success. The Department confirmed that only mission-focused AI systems will be used in intelligence operations.
AI Access for Over Three Million Personnel
Two projects will enhance enterprise operations. GenAI.mil will provide access to cutting-edge AI models, like Gemini and Grok, for personnel with appropriate security clearances. Enterprise Agents will deploy AI agents to automate workflows, improving efficiency across daily operations. These initiatives will reduce manual work, freeing up resources for more strategic tasks.
The War Department will invest in the infrastructure required to support these projects and recruit AI talent through initiatives like Tech Force. By embedding AI into everyday tasks, the Department aims to streamline operations and improve overall performance.
