The Naval Gunfire Liaison Officer (NGLO) is a US Navy Officer, typically a LTJG or 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.
