The U.S. Department of War (DoW) is actively exploring Artificial Intelligence (AI) integration into military workflows, exemplified by a Command and General Staff School (CGSS) platform test. This experiment utilized a commercial AI model, Claude, to assist a student group in an intelligence collection Practical Exercise (P.E.) by acting as a collaborative "thinking partner." The methodology involved designing specific AI "skills" like Synch-Matrix and Intel-Estimate, establishing clear project instructions, and implementing guardrails to ensure context, accuracy, and prevent hallucination. During execution, the AI processed 40 Master Scenario Event List (MSEL) injects, correlating information, assessing Priority Intelligence Requirements (PIRs), and evaluating Threat Course of Action (TCOA) probabilities. This allowed students to focus on critical thinking and debate the AI's outputs, fostering deeper understanding and analytical rigor. The results demonstrated AI's capability to produce comprehensive G2 assessment reports and multi-tabbed trackers, effectively shifting the analytical burden from data collection to judgment and decision-making, thereby enhancing military staff planning and intelligence processes.
