Patriot Brief

• Pentagon launches GenAI.mil, giving troops access to frontier-grade AI tools.

• Hegseth says AI will make U.S. forces “more lethal than ever.”

• Trump administration pushes national AI dominance through sweeping executive orders.

If there’s one thing America’s military has never lacked, it’s edge — but Pete Hegseth just handed our warfighters something that looks a whole lot like the next-generation version of night-vision goggles: artificial intelligence on military steroids. And not the watered-down “ethical framework” fluff our enemies giggle at. No, Hegseth just rolled out GenAI.mil, plugged directly into frontier-grade Google Gemini models, and put them into the hands of every soldier, sailor, Marine, airman, and guardian.

While China is busy stealing American research and Russia is duct-taping drones together, we’re dropping an AI platform so advanced it makes the Pentagon’s old systems look like an Atari. And unlike the previous administration’s habit of slow-walking every innovation in the name of “equity,” the Trump team is sprinting.

AI isn’t coming — it’s here. And for once, America isn’t apologizing for leading. We’re gearing up to dominate.

From Western Journal:

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced Tuesday the launch of a new military-focused artificial intelligence platform.

Hegseth wrote in a Tuesday morning X post that the platform, dubbed GenAI.mil — which is powered by Google Cloud’s Gemini for Government — “puts the [world’s] most powerful frontier AI models directly into the hands of every American warrior.” He added that the Pentagon “will continue to aggressively field the world’s best technology to make our fighting force more lethal than ever before.”

“The future of American warfare is here, and it’s spelled AI,” Hegseth said in a video statement posted to X. “As technologies advance, so do our adversaries. But here at the War Department, we are not sitting idly by.”

Hegseth later said in the video that the launch of the AI platform, which was first reported by Fox Business on Tuesday, places “the world’s most powerful frontier AI models, starting with Google Gemini, directly into the hands of every American warrior.”

When reached for comment, the Pentagon referred the Daily Caller News Foundation to a news release from Tuesday.

\Additionally, Hegseth said in a statement that the Pentagon is “pushing all of our chips in on artificial intelligence as a fighting force.”

“The Department is tapping into America’s commercial genius, and we’re embedding generative AI into our daily battle rhythm,” Hegseth continued. “AI tools present boundless opportunities to increase efficiency, and we are thrilled to witness AI’s future positive impact across the War Department.”

Additional world-class AI models will be available to all U.S. civilians, contractors, and military personnel as part of the initiative, according to the Pentagon’s news release. The Pentagon will also provide no-cost training for GenAI.mil to all Department of War employees, per the announcement.
