AI-Enabled Mission Marketing & Communications
Agencies must adopt AI without creating new risk
Government programs are expected to use AI to do more with the teams they have, and to prove that each use is safe, fair, and documented. Recruiting and communications offices are small. Their data sits in systems that don't talk to each other, and most AI vendors arrive with a tool to sell instead of a result to deliver.
No program leader wants to be the one who put personal information into a public model or launched a use case that failed review. So promising work stalls in pilots, the backlog grows, and mission goals stay where they were. Programs need results from AI and a record that shows how those results were produced.

What changes when this works
AI that clears your governance review
Each use case starts with an inventory entry and an impact assessment, and runs under controls aligned to OMB M-25-21 and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework. The Chief AI Officer and governance board get documentation they can approve on the record, not a vendor's assurance.
Ready prospects booked with recruiters
GuardPaths PRISM AI scores each interested prospect's readiness, keeps undecided prospects engaged with personalized follow-up, and books ready ones onto the right recruiter's calendar. Recruiters spend their time in conversations instead of sorting lists. In Georgia, 60% of arriving leads are ready to enlist or seriously considering it.
Program intelligence from your own data
RC Strategies analyzes audience, market, and performance data in dedicated, network-isolated environments with no public internet access. Only the data each analysis needs is used, under the agency's explicit instruction, and any model built on agency data belongs to the agency.
Results measured in mission terms
AI is judged on what it changes for the mission: applicants, enlistments, enrollments, and response times, not how much it produced. Reporting traces each result to the work behind it, backed by a full audit trail of every human review.

What clients ask before we start
How can AI improve military recruiting?
AI improves military recruiting by sorting prospects by readiness, following up with undecided prospects for as long as the decision takes, and booking ready ones with recruiters automatically. RC Strategies does this with GuardPaths PRISM AI, which the Georgia Army National Guard uses today, alongside predictive targeting for recruiting media. RC Strategies delivers two state ARNG RRB programs: the Georgia Army National Guard and the Arkansas Army National Guard.
How does AI marketing comply with federal AI policy?
OMB memorandum M-25-21, issued in April 2025, directs agencies to accelerate AI use while keeping a use-case inventory and applying minimum risk practices to high-impact AI, including testing before deployment and impact assessments. RC Strategies documents each use case for the agency's inventory, completes the impact assessment with the program, and aligns its controls to the NIST AI Risk Management Framework, so the Chief AI Officer can approve the work on the record.
Where does our data go when you use AI?
Agency data stays in dedicated, network-isolated environments with no public internet access, provisioned and hardened for the program, access-controlled, and monitored continuously. RC Strategies uses only the data a task needs, under the agency's explicit instruction. It never uses agency data to train public models, and any model built on agency data, such as a lead score model, is the agency's property.
Who reviews AI output before it reaches the public?
A person does. RC Strategies sets review by risk, following practice McKinsey describes: the more directly an output reaches the public or affects a decision about a person, the more review it gets, and high-impact actions always need human approval. Automation hands off to a reviewer when it is uncertain. RC Strategies logs every review, which gives the program a full audit trail.
How do you test AI for accuracy and bias?
RC Strategies tests each use case before launch and on a schedule after, against the risks named in the NIST AI Risk Management Framework and its generative AI profile, including inaccurate or fabricated outputs, harmful bias, and data privacy exposure. The results are documented, so the agency can see what was tested, what was found, and what changed.
What happens if an AI system makes a mistake?
RC Strategies runs a documented incident plan. Monitoring watches for unusual behavior, any automation can be paused or overridden at once, and the work falls back to the manual process while the cause is found and fixed. Each incident has a named owner and an escalation path, and the agency is told what happened and what changed.
