# Department of War Expands ChatGPT Mil

On October 28, 2026, the Department of War described plans to add project-specific memory and document-generation capabilities to ChatGPT Mil, which launched about two months earlier. The department-wide GenAI.mil initiative had reached 1.7 million users by July. OpenAI for Government also offers organizational training at no cost to participants under a contract with the Office of the Secretary of War Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office (CDAO); the report identifies no new solicitation, contract value, or procurement timeline.

- Eligible government organizations can use the no-cost training offer to support ChatGPT Mil adoption; procurement and program teams can assess whether it fits their organization’s needs.
- The announced capabilities indicate continued expansion of government generative-AI use, relevant to agencies and contractors planning AI-enabled workflows and support services.
- The report does not identify a new award opportunity or procurement deadline, so it should not be treated as an active solicitation.
