In August 2013, The Department of the Navy established its first-ever, fully synchronized USN/USMC GAL. The DON NMCI GAL allows USN/USMC personnel to quickly locate contact information to send emails. The GAL contains contact information for users from both services. This enables a seamless use e-mails between the Navy and the Marine Corps.
In addition, the DON NMCI GAL is now synchronized with and updated via the DoD Enterprise Directory Services (EDS), a suite of products and services that securely provides DoD Enterprise identity and contact attributes.
