Naval Gunfire Liaison Officers

The Naval Gunfire Liaison Officer (NGLO) is a U.S. Navy officer—typically a lieutenant junior grade (LTJG) or lieutenant (LT)—assigned to a Marine artillery battalion to assist in providing naval gunfire support. Attached to the Operations Office (S-3), the NGLO is responsible for a Shore Fire Control Party that contains radiomen and Forward Observers. The NGLO and some of his supporting team work in the Fire Control Center to coordinate naval gunfire with other supporting mechanisms, including artillery, close air support and mortars. NGLO's can also be assigned to Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Companies (ANGLICO).
Usually, NGLO's are unrestricted line officers, but in some cases exceptions are made. Specific training consists of the Amphibious Warfare Indoctrination Course, followed by Naval Gunfire Liaison Officer school, a five-week course in Coronado, Calif.
