How are EAL additions made?

• A. Automatic updates from MRABL
• B. Separate EALs; updated version if original becomes cumbersome
• C. Issuance of universal addendum
• D. Direct edit by SF supervisor

Answer: (B)

Updating EALs is handled through separate addenda or new EAL documents that reference the original, rather than editing the original in place. This keeps a clear, auditable trail of what changed and when, so units can rely on a specific edition without the risk of accidental overwrites. If the original becomes cumbersome due to accumulated changes, a new updated version is issued instead of patching the old one. This preserves clarity and accountability in the planning documents.

Automatic updates would remove needed control and traceability. A universal addendum would be too broad and inappropriate for specific engagements. Direct edits by a supervisor bypass formal change control and compromises the integrity of the official record.
