## What project 3783 buys

INFORMATION WAR ROOM DIVISION (IWR): The Information Environment (IE) is a global, interconnected, complex, continuously changing eco-system that is increasingly connected across our war fighting functions. Given the complexity and the speed of changes in the IE and to address the significant role information now plays in current and future conflicts, a unifying operational and technical strategy must be developed to outpace our adversaries. Analysis will inform the development and integration of Marine Corps Information Environment Enterprise (MCIEE) that are guided by the Commandant's Planning Guidance (CPG) and Marine Corps Force Design. Research and analysis efforts support: design and coordinated implementation of an Objective Network to fight on and through a contested environment; design structure to engage and collaborate with Joint and Coalition partners; and conduct analysis to inform the development and fielding of an integrated information capability. These efforts will be accomplished leveraging analytic support from government Labs and Industry to dynamically exploit our National Defense Strategy (NDS) priority operational problems related to the Information Environment through demonstration, limited user evaluations, and functional capability assessments with the Fleet Marine Forces. SERVICE DATA OFFICE (SDO): The Service Data Office (SDO) is the designated authority for executing the Marine Corps' transformation into a data-centric, AI-enabled force, a critical modernization effort mandated by senior defense leadership to maintain our competitive edge. This transformation is not merely a technological upgrade; it is a strategic imperative driven by the Secretary of War's directive to "treat data as a weapon system and manage, secure, and use data for operational effect" (DOW Data Strategy, 2020; DepSecWar Memo, "Creating Data Advantage," 2021). The SDO's mission directly implements the DOW's core data decrees, ensuring that all Marine Corps data is visible, accessible, understandable, linked, trustworthy, interoperable, and secure (VAULTIS), which is foundational to enabling Combined Joint All Domain Operations and decision advantage from the tactical edge to the enterprise level.

Congressional marks, the R-2 mission description and acquisition strategy, the industry vs government split of the whole request, and related program elements are recorded at **program-element** grain — an NDAA mark lands on a PE, never on a project.
