Which unit provides commanders liaison capabilities and foreign area expertise to plan, coordinate, and conduct fires in support of joint, allied, coalition forces?

• A. Force Reconnaissance Company
• B. ANGLICO
• C. CI/HUMINT Company
• D. MCISU

Answer: (B)

This item tests understanding of which unit is built to serve as the link between commanders and foreign or coalition partners for planning and firing support. Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company specializes in providing liaison capabilities and foreign area expertise so fires can be planned, coordinated, and executed in support of joint, allied, and coalition forces. These units embed with partner forces, understand their languages and operating procedures, and translate that knowledge into integrated fire plans that synchronize naval gunfire, close air support, and other munitions across services and nations. In short, they bridge the gap between U.S. Marine operations and international partners to ensure fires are effectively coordinated in multinational operations. Force Reconnaissance focuses on reconnaissance, CI/HUMINT on intelligence and counterintelligence, and MCISU on intelligence support—their primary missions do not center on liaison and joint-fire coordination with foreign forces like ANGLICO.
