Pentagon Uses GenAI to Cut 200-Hour Congressional Reports to 5 Hours

Summary
Emil Michael said the Pentagon is using generative AI to draft congressionally mandated reports, shrinking work that once took 200 staff hours to about five.
Google Cloud’s Gemini for Government has been available through the Defense Department’s GenAI.mil platform to all six military branches since December 2025, making the tools broadly accessible.
Michael presented AI-written reports as a flagship use case for the department’s wider generative AI rollout during a Hudson Institute event in Washington on June 12.
Jacob Glassman, a deputy assistant secretary, described a separate case in April in which a short-staffed team used GenAI.mil for a required report and later called it their best in five years.
