MEMORANDUM FOR ALL DEPARTMENT OF WAR PERSONNEL

SUBJECT: Harness Artificial Intelligence Now with GenAl

I am pleased to introduce GenAl.mil, a secure generative artificial intelligence (Al)
platform for every member of the Department of War. It is live today and available on the
desktops of all military personnel, civilians, and contractors. With this launch we are taking a
giant step toward mass Al adoption across the Department. This tool marks the beginning of a
new era where every member of our workforce can be more efficient and impactful.

The first GenAl platform capability is Google Gemini, a frontier Al application that can
help you write documents, ask questions, conduct deep research, format content, and unlock new
possibilities across your daily workflows. Gemini is the first of several enterprise Al
applications that will be rolled out on the GenAI platform. It is secure, certified up to Impact
Level 5 (ILS), and is fully authorized to handle CUI.

Victory belongs to those who embrace real innovation. Rather than being reliant on the
dusty, antiquated systems of a bygone era, we are thinking ahead here in the Department of War.
GenAl.mil is part of this monumental transformation. It removes wasted time and focuses more
of our energy into decisive results for the warfighter.

Access is straightforward. Navigate to GenAl.mil and you will be able to access the tool
with your CAC. The platform is certified secure for operational use on NIPR.

I expect every member of the Department to log in, learn it, and incorporate it into your
workflows immediately. Al should be in your battle rhythm every single day.

It should be your
teammate. By mastering this tool, we will outpace our adversaries. The power is now in your
hands.
