GENTEXT/RMKS /1. Purpose. This MARADMIN provides initial guidance
regarding the availability and integration of Maven Smart System
(MSS) for the Marine Corps.
2. Background.
2.a. In March 2025, the Deputy Commandant for Combat Development
and Integration (DC CD&I) approved implementation of an Artificial
Intelligence (AI)-enabled Battle Management Command and Control
(BMC2) enterprise solution to fulfill a I Marine Expeditionary Force
(MEF) Urgent Universal Need Statement (UUNS), per reference
(a) and (b).
2.b. In August 2025, the Marine Corps acquired an Enterprise License
for unlimited access to MSS via SIPRnet (IL-6 cloud) for commands
and organizations specified in paragraph 4. Enterprise licensing
provides an MSS account for all assigned and attached personnel
at any echelon within the specified commands who have a SIPRnet
account. Information regarding account creation and training is
provided in paragraph 3.c.
2.c. MSS, a Joint Program of Record developed in part by the
National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA) in partnership
with industry vendors, emerged as the standard fires and effects
integration platform across multiple combatant commands and was
selected to meet the Service requirement. MSS consists of a
comprehensive "single pane of glass" user interface backed by
a data management platform that simplifies the sharing of data
and tools integrating processes and workflows for AI-enabled BMC2
and fusion across warfighting functions and echelons of command.
Together, this provides "information positional advantage" while
expediting decision-support cycles and decision-making.
2.d. The MSS Data Platform manages and presents data geospatially
with a wide range of components and tools including Foundry, Gaia,
Target Workbench, Maverick, and LogX. These applications enable
management of complex sensing, shooting, and BMC2 functions integral
to the execution of Maritime and Joint Fires. Combatant commands
adopting MSS include U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, U.S. Central
Command, and U.S. European Commands. This capability is a component
of an overall information system for Combined Joint Command and
Control (CJADC2), towards which the Joint Force is converging.
2.e. The Marine Corps has participated in an Extended Field User
Evaluation (EFUE) with MSS at I, II, and III MEF. This EFUE, which
was limited to users per MEF, will conclude by the end of FY25.
Marine Corps units have also employed MSS in a variety of
operational and experimental applications and continue to employ
the underlying technical capabilities in related efforts such as
the Deputy Commandant for Information (DC I) Readiness 360 program
and DC CD&I Capabilities Development Pilot. These evaluations,
experiments, and pilots -- including an Echelon 2 and Echelon 3
Joint Task Force Certification Exercise - have informed best
practices and provide valuable feedback on workflow and
data integration.
3. Execution.
3.a. The Project Dynamis Cross-Functional Team (CFT) will
accelerate the delivery of a fully operational MSS capability
at appropriate echelons that integrates with other MAGTF Command
and Control systems and wider joint force solutions. The CFT will
include representatives from across the range of Marine Corps
stakeholders and implement program governance supporting MSS
integration for both operational and supporting establishment
functions.
3.a.1. The primary objective is to provide each MEF and its Major
Subordinate Commands (MSC) the BMC2 platform and tools necessary to
maintain and contribute to Joint Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA),
Joint Fires and Effects integration, and logistical sustainment
awareness. These capabilities are necessary to operate as a Stand-in
Force (SIF) performing Combined/Joint C5ISR-T and Counter-C5ISRT,
and to be a viable Joint Task Force Headquarters (JTF HQ).
3.a.2. A secondary objective is to further enhance functionality
of Headquarters Marine Corps (HQMC) and supporting establishment
commands in force development, generation, and sustainment through
enhanced data management and AI tools.
3.b. The Project Dynamis CFT will publish and orchestrate an MSS
implementation plan to provide Service-level governance and
centralized management where necessary to ensure unity of effort,
efficiency, and risk mitigation in achieving enterprise-wide
capabilities. The implementation plan will support decentralized
integration and refinement of MSS capabilities through an agile
learning approach at each using command. All units specified in
paragraph four below are encouraged to pursue MSS implementation
through access to shared resources and references. While this
MARADMIN provides general guidance on account creation and initial
training, each MEF has designated leads for MSS Implementation with
associated Field Service Representative (FSR) support for local
management. The Project Dynamis CFT will work with other commands
and headquarters elements to assist with implementing similarly
local management.
3.c. Account creation. Prospective users with existing access
to SIPR must first register for a GEOAxIS account with NGA. This
is accomplished on SIPR at: https:(slash)(slash)portal.geoaxis.sc2s
.nga.smil.mil. After users have individually registered their PKI
with GEOAxis, they can then request account access to the MSS portal
at https:(slash)(slash)palantir.maven.nga.smil.mil/multipass/login/
all. There will be a manual review process associated with this
account creation. If there is no response within two business days,
or a negative response, MEF personnel should contact their
designated FSR per organizational guidance. Personnel not assigned
to a MEF can contact the MARADMIN POC.
3.d. Training.
3.d.1. On-line Training. There are several short videos and
briefings available on SIPRnet to provide prospective users
with an initial orientation to the tools and resources. See
subparagraphs below for listing of on-line training resources.
3.d.1.a. Once users have access to the MSS Portal, they can access
content available in the MSS training hub. From the MSS portal
home page, users can navigate there by selecting the icon for
the mortarboard/graduation cap. The direct URL is https:(slash)
(slash)go.intelink.sgov.gov/9SnNQmR
3.d.1.b. NGA Maven Wiki Page: https:(slash)(slash)intellipedia.
intelink.sgov.gov/wiki/NGA_Data_and_Digital_Innovation_(DDI)_Maven
_Program. There are links to a video channel and individual short
training videos are available at the bottom of the Wiki page.
3.d.1.c. Introduction to NGA Maven (Geospatial Intelligence
focused): https:(slash)(slash)college.nga.smil.mil/cbt/CSCV1100
/index.html
3.d.2. Unit Training. Initial unit-level training within each
MEF leveraging assigned FSR support can be locally coordinated
according to command internal guidance. The MEF, and other
commands, can coordinate for additional training to be provided
at NGA Headquarters in Springfield, Virginia, or request Mobile
Training Team support from NGA and/or Palantir as appropriate.
During initial phases of MSS Implementation, anticipate a heavy
demand for training support which will be centrally prioritized
and managed by the Project Dynamis CFT. Contact the POC to
coordinate training requests. A subsequent MARADMIN will identify
scheduled training opportunities and provide further coordination
guidance to facilitate unit and mission specific training needs.
3.d.3. Unit Implementation. Adoption, integration, and refinement
of MSS capabilities within command decision-making process will
require an iterative approach to fully achieve desired outcomes.
This includes the traditional progression of individual through
collective training, but also the refinement of data integration,
systems architectures, visualizations and interfaces, and further
refinement of tactics, techniques, and procedures. The Project
Dynamis CFT and MSS implementation plan will provide for on-going
engagement supporting command-led implementation efforts. Units
are also encouraged to leverage and contribute to the development
of institutional knowledge. Three primary resources are
listed below.
3.d.3.a. Marine Corps Center for Lessons Learned. Several units
have contributed feedback accessible on NIPR at https:(slash)(slash)
usmc.sharepoint-mil.us/sites/TECOM_MCCLL.
3.d.3.b. Army Center for Lessons Learned. Navigate to the CAC
enabled SharePoint site via http:(slash)(slash)www.army.mil/call.
3.d.3.c. An MSS Community of Interest teams MS Teams channels has
been established on SIPR at https:(slash)(slash)go.intelink.sgov.
