Passing the torch: 5th ANGLICO replaces 1st ANGLICO in Afghanistan

CAMP LEATHERNECK, Afghanistan — In preparation for the transfer of authority on Dec. 4, 1st Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company and 5th ANGLICO have been convoying to bases throughout the Helmand province of Afghanistan recently.

Now that Dec. 4, has passed, the outgoing 1st ANGLICO has officially given the torch over to 5th ANGLICO and will be heading home soon.

“We wish 5th ANGLICO the best of luck and success,” said Paolicelli. “Hopefully we’ll be doing this again in about 17 months.”
