The Department of War Announces Agreement with Oracle to Deploy AI Capabilities on Classified Cloud Networks

The Department of War has entered into an agreement with Oracle to deploy Oracle's advanced AI capabilities on the Department's classified networks for lawful use. This agreement accelerates the transformation toward making the United States military an AI-first fighting force and strengthens warfighters' ability to maintain decision superiority across all domains of warfare.

Oracle understands that U.S. warfighters require the most advanced AI capabilities to address emerging threats. Oracle's AI strategy is built around openness, interoperability, and choice across the entire technology stack. By delivering high-performance, cost-effective infrastructure and embedding generative and agentic AI directly into its enterprise software portfolio, Oracle enables the Department of War to build, deploy, and scale any model, without vendor lock-in. This approach allows the department to continuously adopt the best AI innovations available while maintaining control over their data, architecture, and long-term technology direction.

"This agreement reflects a shared commitment between the Department of War and Oracle to help ensure that the United States leads decisively in artificial intelligence, as a matter of ongoing global leadership and national security," said Kim Lynch, executive vice president, Oracle Government, Defense & Intelligence. "By bringing advanced AI into classified environments, we are translating innovation into operational advantage where and when it matters most."

Integrating secure frontier AI into classified environments will accelerate data synthesis, enhance situational awareness, and strengthen warfighter decision-making in complex operations. This effort advances the Department's AI Acceleration Strategy by enabling new capabilities across its three core tenets: warfighting, intelligence, and enterprise operations.

"Integrating advanced AI into classified environments is critical to maintaining our operational edge," said Emil Michael, Under Secretary of War for Research and Engineering and the War Department's Chief Technology Officer. "The War Department's agreement with Oracle provides the secure, high-performance infrastructure we require to deploy and scale AI in the most sensitive environments while maintaining control over data, ensuring the Joint Force has access to a diverse suite of AI capabilities."

Oracle has 10 cloud regions dedicated to the US government and its customers serving the most advanced cloud and AI capabilities at DISA IL2, IL4, IL5, IL6, Top Secret and Special Access Programs (SAP) levels.
