Machine Learning and its Application in Marine Corps Operations

Abstract

A review of how machine learning, a subset of artificial intelligence, stands to fundamentally alter the way wars are fought and how the Marine Corps is presently postured to address this revolution in military affairs (RMA). Through research and documentation, evidence is provided demonstrating the Marine Corps is poorly postured to adapt to the RMA that machine learning is inducing. Recommendations are given for pragmatic solutions to alter structure, funding and partnerships to better align the Marine Corps for the near-term future.
