4th ANGLICO Marines Loose in the UK

By Lt Col P

Great press for my fellow West Palm Beach "ANGLICANs":

The 26-member team taking part in Joint Warrior consisted of Navy and Marine Corps officers, as well as enlisted forward observers and field radio operators. During the exercise, the team trained with Destroyer Squadron (DESRON) 24 staff on board the guided missile destroyer USS Cole (DDG 67) and the guided-missile frigate USS John L. Hall (FFG 32). The ANGLICO Leathernecks also conducted ground training at Cape Wrath, Scotland.

“For the exercise, we [worked] as a simulated special operations forces unit that goes ashore working with non-amphibious ships such as destroyers and frigates,” said Lt. Col. Max Goralnick, officer-in-charge of the 4th ANGLICO detachment during exercise Joint Warrior.

“The ability to use a platform that is not configured for amphibious operations is a valuable learning experience for the units,” added Goralnick.

The title mentions 2d ANGLICO, but neither of the officers quoted are active duty-- both "Maximus" Goralnick and "Meat" Hanger are both reservists. Bravo Zulus to all!
