GenAI Field GuideWelcome
Learn to use GenAI.mil.
GenAI.mil is the Department's new AI capability: one portal at https://genai.mil, on your NIPR workstation, with frontier models from OpenAI, Google and xAI behind it. This independent site teaches you to use it well, from your first draft to helpers your whole shop can share. Not an official Department of War or CDAO product; your command's guidance and the platform's rules come first.
Three levels of training
Each level is a complete course on its own. Start where you are.
