news comes as Salesforce marked one year of Missionforce, with the company noting that the public sector has become its fastest-growing industry
business at scale, and that its defense sector business has grown 80% year over year as demand accelerates.

Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff harked to the partnership in his opening keynote at Dreamforce 2026, noting that the company was "deeply committed to
America".

Having already worked with government customers for more than two decades,
the expansion means Salesforce now supports some of the US governments "most complex and consequential missions" across more than 30 countries, working with 60 federal agencies, all 15 US Cabinet departments, all 50 states, and all six branches of the US military.

One year in, the momentum behind Missionforce shows how quickly government agencies are moving from AI ambition to operational deployment, Collins said.

Our defense business is a critically important part of that progress, with trusted data and actionable intelligence essential to readiness and mission success. With new capabilities and partnerships, were helping agencies equip their people and put AI to work with the security, accountability, and control their most critical missions demand.
