00:00.349 --> 00:02.571
As the nation's premier crisis response

00:02.571 --> 00:04.738
force , the Marine Corps must maintain

00:04.738 --> 00:06.849
a robust and adaptable medical supply

00:06.849 --> 00:08.682
chain , whether rendering aid to

00:08.682 --> 00:10.627
civilians and natural disasters or

00:10.627 --> 00:12.682
performing delicate surgeries in the

00:12.682 --> 00:14.793
steer environments . The medical care

00:14.793 --> 00:16.849
professionals rely upon delicate and

00:16.849 --> 00:18.849
intricate logistical webs to ensure

00:18.849 --> 00:18.770
they have the necessary gear to save

00:18.780 --> 00:22.010
lives regardless of circumstances .

00:22.020 --> 00:24.250
Units across first marine expeditionary

00:24.260 --> 00:26.316
force rely upon sustainment from the

00:26.316 --> 00:28.204
logistics support of First Marine

00:28.204 --> 00:30.260
Logistics Group for medical

00:30.270 --> 00:32.459
requirements . First Medical Logistics

00:32.470 --> 00:34.692
Company , first Supply Battalion prefer

00:34.692 --> 00:36.859
critical supplies to those who need it

00:36.859 --> 00:39.192
most from medications to X ray machines ,

00:39.192 --> 00:41.240
ventilators to gauze . Medical

00:41.250 --> 00:43.194
logistics company provides medical

00:43.194 --> 00:45.028
supplies to one FF units who are

00:45.028 --> 00:47.220
deployed training or position west of

00:47.229 --> 00:49.330
the International Dateline . They do

00:49.340 --> 00:51.007
this with extreme precision ,

00:51.007 --> 00:52.951
meticulous attention to detail and

00:52.951 --> 00:55.659
precariously little room for error . As

00:55.669 --> 00:57.891
we prepare for the future fight , it is

00:57.891 --> 01:00.225
paramount that innovation does not stop .

01:00.225 --> 01:02.280
The COVID-19 pandemic showed us that

01:02.280 --> 01:04.447
there are many risks within our supply

01:04.447 --> 01:06.113
chains . Utilizing artificial

01:06.113 --> 01:08.336
intelligence is one way melo is seeking

01:08.336 --> 01:10.391
to mitigate those risks . Artificial

01:10.391 --> 01:12.169
intelligence is revolutionizing

01:12.169 --> 01:14.113
civilian supply chains by reducing

01:14.113 --> 01:15.947
uncertainty and providing better

01:15.947 --> 01:18.113
decision making tools by collaborating

01:18.113 --> 01:20.225
with the industry leaders . They have

01:20.225 --> 01:22.391
built innovative tools that allow them

01:22.391 --> 01:22.360
to improve readiness while decreasing

01:22.370 --> 01:24.800
inefficiencies and waste the efforts

01:24.809 --> 01:26.889
will not stop there . Leaders within

01:26.900 --> 01:29.067
Medlock are preparing to utilize these

01:29.067 --> 01:31.500
tools in competition and conflict not

01:31.510 --> 01:33.732
only has refinement directly led to the

01:33.732 --> 01:35.800
decrease in material monetary and

01:35.809 --> 01:37.849
manpower ways . But utilizing

01:37.860 --> 01:39.860
artificial intelligence and medical

01:39.860 --> 01:41.804
logistics allows our commanders to

01:41.804 --> 01:43.693
simulate multiple scenarios which

01:43.693 --> 01:45.860
builds better pictures and decisions .

01:45.860 --> 01:47.304
The working prototype has

01:47.304 --> 01:49.082
revolutionized the mobilization

01:49.082 --> 01:51.082
planning process by identifying the

01:51.082 --> 01:53.193
optimal equipment sets for deployment

01:53.193 --> 01:55.416
within seconds . A task that previously

01:55.416 --> 01:58.089
required hours or days . It also offers

01:58.099 --> 02:00.210
data driven insights for replenishing

02:00.210 --> 02:02.266
medical equipment suds that consider

02:02.266 --> 02:04.319
current and incoming inventory to

02:04.330 --> 02:07.389
enhance readiness posture . Furthermore ,

02:07.400 --> 02:09.400
it recommends the optimal inventory

02:09.400 --> 02:11.233
stocking policy aiming to ensure

02:11.233 --> 02:12.900
readiness and fill rate while

02:12.900 --> 02:15.320
minimalizing surplus stock . Having the

02:15.330 --> 02:17.219
necessary supplies where they are

02:17.219 --> 02:19.441
needed is the definition of readiness .

02:19.441 --> 02:21.330
This is especially true where the

02:21.330 --> 02:23.441
stakes are the highest when the lives

02:23.441 --> 02:24.460
of marines are in the balance .
