Salesforce will provide the US Army a Salesforce-based cloud data analytics system under a 10-year contract valued up to $5.6 billion. The deal will operationalize Missionforce across the Army to unify data and analytics, enable a single dashboard for merged data sources, manage personnel from hiring to retirement, streamline workflows, and accelerate decision-making. Missionforce launched in September 2025 to serve defense, intelligence, and aerospace agencies. The contract is positioned as an agent-ready foundation for eventual adoption of agentic AI across the Army and wider Department of Defense, where agentic AI planning has already occurred.
