Fire from the sky and sea — 5th ANGLICO with 2/5 Marines.
This patch represents the partnership between 5th Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company (5th ANGLICO) and 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines, combining the unique fire support coordination capability of ANGLICO with one of the most storied infantry battalions in the Marine Corps. When ANGLICO teams embed with infantry units, the result is devastating — every type of fire support available becomes immediately accessible to the ground commander.
5th ANGLICO is assigned to III Marine Expeditionary Force (III MEF) in the Pacific Command (PACOM) area of responsibility, providing the critical link between ground forces and supporting arms — naval gunfire from ships offshore, close air support from aircraft overhead, and artillery from fire bases in the rear.

When attached to 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines, 5th ANGLICO ensures that the infantry battalion has access to every weapon system in the joint arsenal, from 5-inch naval guns to precision-guided bombs.
This patch marks 5th ANGLICO's attachment to 2/5.
