Marines and sailors with 1st ANGLICO (1st Air Naval Gun Liaison Company) undergo close air support (CAS) training.

ANGLICO Joint Terminal Controllers (JTACs) employ a range of observation and designation equipment.

The ANGLICO member on the left is using a portable laser designator to 'paint' a target for an attack jet or helicopter to hit while the other is observing the target through tripod-mounted binoculars.

ANGLICO are a United States Marines Corps unit that coordinates, synchronizes and deconflicts close air support and ground-based and naval artillery fires for non-USMC forces operating in or next to a deployed Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF).

Each deployed ANGLICO element includes expert JTACs and forward artillery observers.
