Maintenance Management: Is There a FED LOG® Download Alternative?

BLUF: Downloaded copies of FED LOG^® can be burned onto a disk for use on non-networked MSDs, but there are some cautions.

Dear Half-Mast,

Is there any way to get a copy of FED LOG^® without an Internet connection? The maintainers in our motor pool don’t have networked MSDs and their copies of FED LOG^® are woefully out of date.

Dear Master Sergeant,

Unfortunately, there’s no way to get a copy of FED LOG^® without downloading it but that doesn’t mean all is lost. A maintenance leader could use a networked computer to download a copy of FED LOG^®, burn the files to a disk and use the disk to install FED LOG^® onto the non-networked MSDs.

If you use this method, keep these two things in mind:
 

1. The data in FED LOG^® is CUI (formerly FOUO). Protect it and any burned CDs/disks accordingly.
    
2. The FED LOG^® files are updated monthly, so you’ll need to update the MSDs regularly. Updates are available on the first business day of each month.
