U.S. Marines with 6th Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company, perform motivational pushups with Brig. Gen. Raymond L. Adams, commanding general, Force Headquarters Group, and Sgt. Maj. Russell D. Boley, sergeant major, FHG, before a change of command ceremony at Joint Base Lewis–McChord, Washington, May 4, 2024. During the ceremony, Lt. Col. Dominic Fattore passed command of 6th ANGLICO to Lt. Col. Candice Creecy, who is the first female commanding officer of an ANGLICO unit in Marine Corps history. ANGLICO Marines specialize in deploying small teams to attach to joint and multi-national forces to conduct the coordination and deconfliction required for those commanders to access Marine Corps close-air support, artillery, rockets and naval gunfire.
