Page: 3 of 23 GCSS Army Portal Since the Unit Equipment Readiness Listing (UERL) report can be customized according to your need, it is important to know specifically what you are looking for before generating the report. In this example, you are the PBO, S4, or Unit Supply representative preparing for the monthly Unit Status Report (USR). You must review the Equipment On-Hand (EOH) status for your organization using the UERL report. The UERL can be generated at any time and shows adjustments made by the PBO through the previous day (as it is updated nightly). In this particular example, you want to investigate your M4A1 Carbines, LIN C06935. Note: The UERL only shows reportable items, and can only be generated for the units that are authorized the equipment on their MTOE or TDA. 1. Home tab. 2.
