The era of Agentic Warfare 
has begun.

The first nation to fully operationalize agentic systems in military decision-making will determine the course of the 21st century.

This defining shift moves beyond the development of large language models toward agency: systems capable of not only responding to human prompts, but actually executing and accomplishing complex tasks at paradigm-shifting speeds. 

These systems consist of multiple AI agents, each performing specific and coordinated tasks, forming constellations of immense computational power. Harnessed by the Department of War, these systems enable U.S. forces to outpace and outmaneuver even our most capable opponents.

When fully developed, agentic systems realize the imperative put forward by former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Joseph Dunford that “our decision-making processes...deliver options at the speed of war.” 

By coordinating autonomous agents to adopt strategies at machine speed, they supercharge human cognition and respond to battlefield changes in real time. To probe for vulnerabilities, they run millions of physics-based simulations, optimizing precise courses of action to maximize the probability of victory. 

By compressing the time required for analysis and making that analysis more accurate, they enable commanders to execute nimble, decisive maneuvers that far outpace the capabilities of current command, control, and planning structures. 

Simply put, agentic systems deliver every option, and help us understand optimal solutions, before the enemy has had their say.

This paper provides a blueprint for how the Department of War can harness agentic systems to achieve new degrees of decision advantage, and in so doing, revolutionize the American way of war.
