USMC Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company — ANGLICO
The Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company is another group that often finds itself in the shadow of sexier special operations units like the SEALs. A single ANGLICO Marine can coordinate a hellish rain of fiery artillery and air-strafing fire on the enemy though, whereas all a SEAL can do is pull a trigger.
Typically they don't deploy as individuals, but like any SpecOps group, in teams of four or five.
A typical ANGLICO team:
- Team Leader (Captain or Navy Lieutenant): any ground MOS - typically JTAC (Joint Terminal Attack Controller)-qualified artillery officer.
- Team Chief (Sergeant), typically qualified as JFO (joint fires observer) and as a JTAC.
- Radio Chief (Corporal or Sergeant).
- Junior Radio Operator (Private First Class / Lance Corporal).
- Fire Support Man / Scout Observer (Private First Class / Lance Corporal).
