"Today, the War Department officially entered into an agreement with xAI, paving the way for the deployment of its advanced capabilities on GenAI.mil," the department said. "This move builds on the rapid deployment of cutting‑edge AI across the Department's 3 million military and civilian personnel."
The tools will allow employees to use xAI safely on secure government systems for routine work, including tasks involving sensitive but unclassified information, without violating security protocols.
With xAI designed to analyze real-time data, the War Department said the partnership would give personnel "a decisive information advantage."
Grok will give personnel access to live information from X, providing the War Department with faster situational awareness around the globe, the department said.
