The possibilities for inclusive diffraction in the Electron Ion Collider,
EIC, in the US, are analyzed. We find that thanks to the excellent forward
proton tagging, the EIC will be able to access a wider kinematical range of
longitudinal momentum fraction and momentum transfer of the leading proton than
at HERA. This opens up the possibility to measure subleading diffractive
exchanges. The extended $t$-range would allow the precise extraction of
4-dimensional reduced cross section in diffraction. In addition, the varying
beam energy setups at the EIC would allow for precise measurements of the
longitudinal diffractive structure function.
