The U.S. Marine Corps is using artificial intelligence to predict whether recruits will complete their full four-year term. The initiative aims to pinpoint factors that may affect completion and inform recruiters to better prepare Marines. In 2017, 5 percent of active component Marines left before their contract was up. The Corps is offering new incentives to retain personnel after their contract ends. Factors like fitness, stress, and exhaustion can contribute to leaving the Corps. The retention prediction network is in an experimental phase and aims to provide information for recruiters to better understand recruit behavior. The Marines are also using AI to plan exercises and operations by analyzing historical data to provide critical insights for decision-making.
