Complex matters involving\nbenefits or other sensitive decisions can still be routed to HRC specialists,\nwho retain decision-making authority.\n\nArmy HRC will be the first organization within the Department of War to deploy\nthe newly IL5-authorized Agentforce to support workloads involving highly\nsensitive, controlled unclassified information.\n\nThe mission: Putting service members first\n\nHRC processes more than 1,500 cases per day for one of the largest workforces\nin the federal government. Soldiers, Veterans, civilian employees, and their\nfamilies depend on it for career-defining decisions: assignments, promotions,\nbenefits, and records management.\n\nFor Soldiers managing career transitions, Veterans navigating complex\nbenefits, and military families seeking answers while a loved one is deployed,\nevery delay carries real weight. These aren't just administrative\ninconveniences — they directly affect pay, promotions, healthcare, and life\ndecisions.\n\n“Army HRC lives by ‘Soldiers First,’ and this deployment will help\nextend that commitment around the clock,” said Kendall Collins, CEO of\nMissionforce and Government Cloud at Salesforce. “Agentforce will be a force\nmultiplier for HRC — giving Soldiers, Veterans, and military families fast,\ntrusted answers at the moments that matter most and transforming how we\nsupport those who serve and the families who stand beside them.”\n\n24/7 support and a force multiplier for HRC staff\n\nA Soldier’s need for HR support does not end after business hours, and a\nVeteran navigating a benefits claim should not have to wait days for a\ncallback. Agentforce will expand HRC’s capacity to meet people where they\nare, with relevant information when they need it.\n\nFor HRC’s more than 3,000 analysts and HR professionals, Agentforce will act\nas an always-on force multiplier. By responding to routine inquiries,\nsummarizing cases, quickly providing relevant information, and assisting with\ncase routing around the clock, AI agents can reduce time spent on\nadministrative work and help HRC staff focus on the complex, high-touch\nmatters affecting Soldiers’ careers and families.\n\nBuilt on a unified foundation: The Digital Front Door\n\nAgentforce will add secure, autonomous AI agents to HRC’s Digital Front Door\n— a modern, cloud-based platform powered by Missionforce National Security\nthat serves as the Army's core HR engine.\n\nBefore the Digital Front Door, HRC’s analysts and HR professionals navigated\ndisconnected legacy systems to respond to cases and locate relevant\ninformation. Delivered by Salesforce Professional Services, the platform now\nbrings together millions of service members, Veterans, and their families with\nthe information they need and helps HRC resolve 600,000 cases per year more\nefficiently.\n\nThis trusted foundation enables Agentforce to automate case management,\nstreamline support, and deliver immediate, conversational access to\ninformation. Governed by strict permissions and controls, AI agents only\naccess preapproved data and follow prescribed workflows.\n\nImpact at scale\n\nThis agentic AI-driven transformation is projected to deliver measurable\nimpact across Army HRC:\n\n\n * $6 million in projected annual savings simply from reductions in manual\nprocessing time, improved case routing, and the elimination of redundant\nlegacy systems through Army HRC's Digital Front Door platform before a single\nAgentforce agent is deployed to production.\n\n * Over 55 million agent conversations per month projected at full scale, serving\nSoldiers, civilians, spouses, and Veterans via Experience Cloud with\nAgentforce.\n\n * Over 1,500 cases per day expected to be supported by automated case\nsummarization, eliminating the need for front-line analysts to spend time\nmanually reviewing lengthy case histories and communications.\n\n“For the dedicated staff at Army HRC, supporting millions of service members\nand families is a mission of profound importance. As an Army Veteran, I\nappreciate how much the work they do matters, and timely access to those\nservices can make all the difference,” said Bill Pessin, SVP of Missionforce\nNational Security at Salesforce. “By applying trusted AI, we are helping\ngive HRC staff more of their most valuable resource: time. That means they can\nfocus more on the complex, career-defining decisions that directly affect the\nreadiness and lives of our Soldiers and less on the mundane tasks that can be\nhandled by AI.”\n\nLearn more:\n\n\n * Learn more about Missionforce National Security's \nIL5 authorization for Agentforce 360\n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.salesforce.com%2Fnews%2Fpress-releases%2F2026%2F08%2F05%2Fdow-agentforce-mission-readiness%2F&esheet=54583702&newsitemid=20260805744958&lan=en-US&anchor=IL5+authorization+for+Agentforce+360&index=3&md5=38ac01d2dadc7a13a99e6a976a60e497)\n\n * See how Missionforce National Security is transforming \nAir Force logistics\n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.salesforce.com%2Fnews%2Fpress-releases%2F2026%2F07%2F08%2Fus-air-force-missionforce-modernize-sustainment-operations%2F&esheet=54583702&newsitemid=20260805744958&lan=en-US&anchor=Air+Force+logistics&index=4&md5=1056fe9c0b6c92d41047450bddb1f27b)\n\n * Read about \nSalesforce’s $5.6 billion Army IDIQ\n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.salesforce.com%2Fnews%2Fpress-releases%2F2026%2F01%2F26%2Fus-army-department-of-war-missionforce-announcement%2F&esheet=54583702&newsitemid=20260805744958&lan=en-US&anchor=Salesforce%26%238217%3Bs+%245.6+billion+Army+IDIQ&index=5&md5=2d9081686099345b9d7f8bebfb59406b)\n\n * Explore \nAgentforce Public Sector\n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.salesforce.com%2Fnews%2Fstories%2Fagentforce-for-public-sector-announcement%2F&esheet=54583702&newsitemid=20260805744958&lan=en-US&anchor=Agentforce+Public+Sector&index=6&md5=1c5b561b9d13c75569bc3253816eb223)\n\n * Learn more about \nSalesforce Government Cloud\n(https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.salesforce.com%2Fgovernment%2Fcloud%2F&esheet=54583702&newsitemid=20260805744958&lan=en-US&anchor=Salesforce+Government+Cloud&index=7&md5=53e8a64adc4972ff70178393b146fdf6)\n\nAbout Missionforce National Security\n\nMissionforce National Security is Salesforce’s mission readiness platform\npurpose-built to deliver the best Salesforce innovation to the tactical edge\nand environments where readiness, resilience, and speed are essential.\n\nAbout Salesforce\n\nSalesforce helps organizations of any size become Agentic Enterprises —\nintegrating humans, agents, apps, and data on a trusted, unified platform to\nunlock unprecedented growth and innovation.
