Marines Forge Ahead with AI-Driven Transformation Strategy
The US Marine Corps is advancing a comprehensive artificial intelligence strategy aimed at overhauling its operational, logistical, and decision-making frameworks. This initiative is designed to embed AI into the core of military functions, moving beyond isolated technological applications to a holistic transformation of processes and structures. A central element of this strategy is the deployment of Digital Transformation Teams across various commands. These cross-functional units are tasked with digitizing workflows, enhancing data pipelines, and identifying vulnerabilities to facilitate the integration of AI into real-world operations. The first DXT was established at the II Marine Expeditionary Force, with plans to expand to the Marine Corps Logistics Command and Marine Corps Forces, Pacific, by the end of the fiscal year. The Marine Corps' AI implementation plan emphasizes the importance of a robust data infrastructure. Efforts are underway to assess and upgrade cloud and on-premises assets, establish data governance frameworks, and develop a data-centric culture across all levels of the organization. This foundational work is considered critical for the effective deployment of AI and machine learning platforms. ADVERTISEMENT To build an AI-competent workforce, the plan outlines initiatives for tailored training programs targeting users, builders, and decision-makers. By March 2026, the Training and Education Command is expected to centralize learning tools and resources, including licensing external training platforms, to enhance proactive learning. Additionally, the plan calls for analyzing career retention compensation opportunities to support the development and retention of AI talent. In terms of governance, the Marine Corps aims to reform its Risk Management Framework to embrace automation and reduce administrative overhead. By September 2027, the goal is to provide data security posture management solutions that enable data-centric security and Zero Trust architectures. Furthermore, AI governance requirements will be incorporated into readiness inspections to ensure enforcement and oversight. The Marine Corps is also exploring partnerships with industry and academia to accelerate AI adoption. Plans include establishing cooperative agreements and contracting vehicles for AI development, as well as organizing regular industry-focused events for information sharing and capability demonstrations. A feasibility assessment for a new Center for Digital Transformation is underway, with the aim of providing digital, data, and AI knowledge-based products to support and grow a healthy ecosystem. In operational contexts, the Marine Corps is leveraging AI to enhance decision-making and efficiency. For instance, the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit utilized generative AI models during deployments to assist with staff functions, including summarizing situation reports and monitoring media mentions. These applications demonstrate the practical benefits of AI in streamlining information processing and situational awareness.

Dräger Evita V800/V600, Babylog VN800 and Savina 300 obtain Authority to Operate (ATO) under Risk Management Framework
New certifications follow Dräger's previous ATO certification for a critical care ventilator Dräger Evita V800/V600 and Babylog VN800 family of devices, effective 1/23/2025 and expiring on 1/21/2028 under eMASS System ID 3984 Dräger Savina 300 series, effective 1/23/2025 and expiring on 1/21/2028 under eMASS System ID 3957 TELFORD, Pa., Feb. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Dräger, an international leader in medical and safety technologies, today announced that its Evita V800/V600 and Babylog VN800 family of mechanical ventilators received Authority to Operate (ATO) certification under the Department of Defense's (DoD) Risk Management Framework (RMF) eMASS #3984. In addition, the Savina 300 series of mechanical ventilators received ATO certification under the DoD's RMF eMASS #3957. "At Dräger, our mission extends beyond clinical technology," said President and CEO for Draeger, Inc., Lothar Thielen. "In our quest to improve patient outcomes and health equity, we are also committed to protecting patient data. That's why we invest significant resources in cybersecurity, which has culminated in ATO certification – the highest level of security a device can hold." Dräger was one of the first companies to obtain an ATO for a critical care ventilatorCertification of Dräger's latest-technology ventilators follows that of the Dräger V500 series of ventilators, which achieved this level of security in 2020 under eMASS System ID 2510 and extends to 3/3/2026. With this ATO certification of a critical care ventilator – as well as many ATOs for other medical devices before 2020 – Dräger broke new ground in patient data security. Benefits of ATO-certified ventilatorsMedical devices that have achieved an Authority to Operate (ATO) under the Risk Management Framework (RMF) offer significant advantages to hospitals, including: Enhanced security: Rigorous security assessments ensure that these devices meet high standards for protecting sensitive patient data and maintaining the integrity of medical operations Compliance assurance: Devices that comply with federal regulations and standards reduce the risk of legal and regulatory issues Reliability and trust: Hospitals can trust that these devices have been thoroughly vetted for security and performance, leading to greater confidence in their use in critical environments Interoperability: Devices with ATO are often designed to integrate seamlessly with other systems within the healthcare network, enhancing overall efficiency and effectiveness Continuous monitoring: Ongoing monitoring and updates continually address new security threats, ensuring that devices remain secure over time Faster installation: ATO-certified devices streamline the process of integrating ventilator data with electronic medical records, centralized alarm stations, and remote notifications In short, ventilators that offer this level of security have stronger patient data protection and carry a lower risk of cyberattacks.
