WELCOME BACK TO THE STATES ANDY!!!!

Dear 1st ANGLICO friends & families,

I would first like to say welcome home to all of our 1st ANGLICO warriors who just returned from a long deployment with the 13th MEU! By all accounts, SALT G did an absolutely superb job and had a very successful deployment. My hat’s off to the families of SALT G for making it through yet another deployment and providing the support to your loved ones in order to make it a successful deployment.

....the Marine Corps mandates that units returning from deployments set aside a period of time (usually five days) to decompress after making the significant change from the tactical environment back to normalcy—to our living rooms, with our wives, and our kids, too! We are planning “Warrior Transition” now with due respect to meeting the Commandant’s intent as well as to maximizing our free time to spend with our families and loved ones once we get home.

Lastly, your Marines and sailors continue to set the standard for outright professionalism and tactical effectiveness out here. Your loved ones are constantly setting the bar higher and higher for effectiveness in combat when it comes to air and surface delivered fires. You have much to be proud of! They are operating smartly and have a clear understanding of the mission at hand and that we will finish strong right to the end. Thank you so much for supporting these fine men and for being a part of 1st ANGLICO and our Corps!
Semper fidelis,

LtCol Brian T. Bruggeman, USMC
Commanding Officer, 1ST ANGLICO
