The 2nd ANGLICO company out of Camp Lejeune replaced 5th ANGLICO in November 2010. The typical rotation is seven months. As 5th replaced 1st, my guess is that 1st ANGLICO out of Camp Pendleton will deploy again at the conclusion of the 2nd ANGLICO tour.

The "wish list" that I have for 2nd ANGLICO is as follows:

Baby Wipes
Foot powder
Razors
Travel size: shampoo, toothpaste, shave gel
Powdered Gatorade
Beef Jerky
Trail Mix
Tuna Packets
Cigars
Smokes
Dip
Starbucks instant coffee
Hand/foot warmers
Gum
Magazines
Licorice

I try to send an FPO box per week, and a couple of others send occasional boxes. Some of you guys have worked with ANGLICO. Today they are much better trained that we were, each team capable of calling for CAS, NGF, and arty, as well as the "routine" resupply and medevacs.

The units typically have 150 to 160 Marines and Sailors, with a command group (currently at Camp Leatherneck) and 16 teams deployed with diverse Allied and U.S. Army units. I sent all 16 teams a 9-cup percolator, so that they can use ground coffee, which is a lot cheaper than instant.

I don't want to post the FPO publically, but will gladly provide the FPO address to Admin here, for Major Tim Wernimont, the XO for 2nd ANGLICO. He has his guys divy up goods received such that the teams are all supplied equally.
