WEBVTT 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 .
