Mission:
ESU Seattle provides technical support for all Coast Guard
electronic systems operated in the Pacific Northwest. The unit maintains a wide
variety of electronics equipment on small boats, shore units, and patrol
boats through an electronics maintenance contract. This contract is
monitored by Quality Assurance Evaluators (QAEs) at the ESU’s
detachments. In addition, ESU has a small number of
technicians to assist larger cutters and with electronics project
coordination.
ESU Seattle's Networks Branch maintains
and supports Coast Guard-owned telephone systems, including switches and
associated telephone wiring, and Coast Guard-owned microwave systems. The ESU
also supports data networks and telephone circuits. Much of this support is
provided through Network Shops at the detachments, at Pier 36 in
Seattle, and at the detail in Portland, Oregon. In addition, in-depth
technical network work is done at Pier 36 in Seattle.
ESU Seattle's Information Resources Management (IRM) Branch provides a
wide range of support for Coast Guard computer workstations. This includes technical assistance and user support. Work in the field is
performed primarily by Regional System Managers (RSMs) at the ESU’s
detachments. ESU provides technical support through
the computer support staff at Pier 36.
