Salesforce’s Missionforce National Security personnel recruiting capabilities have received “Awardable” status on the Department of War’s Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace. The designation gives Department of War organizations direct access to the recruiting solution through the marketplace.

Key points
  • Missionforce National Security received “Awardable” status on the Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace.
  • The listing gives Department of War organizations direct access to Salesforce’s recruiting capabilities.
  • Salesforce cited approximately 20,000 vacant positions across the U.S. Armed Services.
  • The platform supports recruiting, verification, analytics, and retention workflows.
  • The solution is designed for Impact Level 5 governance and data security requirements.

Marketplace access for military recruiting

Salesforce said on November 10, 2026, that Missionforce National Security was recognized through the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office’s, or CDAO’s, Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace. The marketplace is part of Tradewinds, the Department of War’s suite of tools and services for accelerating the procurement and adoption of advanced technology, machine learning, digital, and data analytics capabilities.

The company said the status allows Department of War organizations to access Salesforce’s recruiting capabilities directly. The aim is to help military recruiters identify, engage, recruit, and retain qualified talent in support of mission readiness.

Missionforce National Security was selected among applicants whose solutions demonstrated innovation, scalability, and potential impact on Department of War missions, according to Salesforce. Government customers can view the solution video by creating an account on the Tradewinds Solutions Marketplace.

Addressing personnel shortages and hiring timelines

Salesforce said the Department of War faces a critical talent shortfall, particularly in cyber and specialized technical fields. The company cited approximately 20,000 vacant positions affecting operational readiness across the U.S. Armed Services.

Department of War leadership has set a goal of reducing hiring timelines from months to 25 days. Salesforce says Missionforce National Security is designed to support that effort through intelligent automation, analytics, and marketing capabilities that help recruiters work more efficiently, improve the recruit experience, and strengthen retention.

“National Security comes down to the people behind the mission, and we’re enabling defense leaders to recruit at the speed that mission demands,” Kendall Collins, CEO of Missionforce and Government Cloud, said in Salesforce’s announcement. Collins added that the platform is intended to “collapse hiring timelines and cut through administrative friction.”

Recruiting features and security controls

The personnel recruiting capabilities use Agentforce 360, powered by Public Sector Solutions, Data 360, Marketing Cloud, and Tableau Next. Salesforce says these technologies establish a secure, federated data foundation connecting personnel data with the full recruiting lifecycle, without requiring agencies to replace their existing legacy systems.

  • Agentic talent engagement: Marketing Cloud can generate targeted recruiting campaigns from plain-language prompts.
  • Accelerated verification: Automated workflows verify qualifications such as ASVAB scores, role eligibility, and clearance status, while flagging potential access anomalies.
  • Proactive retention: Tableau analytics connect engagement signals, performance metrics, and promotion timelines to identify attrition risks.
  • System integration: The solution connects with existing Department of War systems and data to provide a single view for personnel and recruiting leaders.
  • Governance and oversight: Missionforce National Security applies Impact Level 5 governance and data security protocols while retaining human oversight of agentic actions.

Kevin Paschuck, Salesforce’s EVP of Global Public Sector, said the marketplace listing puts “proven, mission-ready technology directly into the hands of defense leaders faster.” Missionforce National Security contracts through Computable Insights LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Salesforce, Inc.
