ANGLICO and OIE

摘要

In today's world, information is gathered, analyzed, and acted on at speeds no one thought possible 30 years ago. These drastic changes have had enormous effects on modern militaries directly affecting the United States' ability to maintain its military dominance. Today's world is back to near-peer competition and conflicts that have been a part of every other period except for the last half century. The U.S. military has finally seen the writing on the wall and has redirected its efforts to address current force designs to meet these the evolving threats. Under the Tri-Service Maritime Strategy and the Commandant Planning Guidance, Marines today will be tasked with enabling commanders with dedicated all-domain reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance forces which will see smaller units capable of delivering a wider range of battlefield effects to ensure freedom of movement for the Naval Service while denying the same to our adversaries.1 These all-domain teams, with their access to allied and coalition partners, will be the backbone for the future Naval Service and ensure a place for the Marine Corps by giving us the capability to regionally counter hostile "Little Green Men"2 around the world. With the current Marine Corps force structure, equipment, and training, the base unit for all-domain effects teams are the Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Companies (ANGLICO) because of its seasoned combined arms and liaison officers and staff non-commissioned officers, their ability to quickly task organize from within the MEF Information Group (MIG), and overt access to allied countries that can generate effects within the fast paced, information intensive style of warfare across competition and conflict.
