  • What About EAL?

    What About EAL?
    Jul 9 2025

    We're joined by LT Chris Fuentes from the Office of Boat Forces 1-Side to discuss Electronic Asset Logbook (EAL). LT provides insight on the system’s role in capturing operational data, new changes to the way we capture information, and highlights some upcoming training opportunities. EAL, part of the Coast Guard’s broader data environment that includes OORS, AOPS, ALMIS, and MISLE, helps record mission activity vital for planning, resourcing, and staffing. When data isn’t captured digitally, the burden falls on manual surveys and anecdotal reports. This episode highlights EAL’s role in bridging that gap and ensuring operational status is accurately documented.
