Three Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company Marines recently taught Iraqi troops how to call in fire support, according to Combined Joint Task Force-Operation Inherent Resolve.
The Marines from 4th ANGLICO deployed from Jordan to Al Taqaddum Air Base, where they conducted forward observer training with artillery and infantry officers from the 1st, 8th and 10th Iraqi army divisions, which make up the Anbar Operations Command, the task force told Marine Corps Times.
“The course was progressive and included utilizing the Iraqi call for fire, which is different from the U.S. call for fire,” according to the task force. “The idea was to make them proficient in their own techniques rather than forcing a U.S. system on them that they wouldn't use.
“After classroom time, the students moved to observation positions and then used digital training aids such as a computer simulator to practice adjusting fires and utilizing proper communications procedures. To finish off the course, the Iraqi observers called in live fire missions supported by army artillery fire.”
Army Maj. Gen. Joseph Martin, head of Combined Joint Forces Land Component Command, tweeted pictures of the Marines and Iraqi troops on March 25.
The three Marines were in Iraq as part of the Special Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force-Crisis Response-Central Command, according to the task force. ANGLICO teams consist of a total of five Marines — the other two Marines in the team are supporting other missions in the fight against Islamic State fighters.
“We had great success with the course, so we'll look to replicate it again in the future and ask for follow on support,” the task force said.

Why are the Iraqis so slow in liberating the last part of Mosul? Any particular reason?

At least 14 Iraqi policemen were killed in a spate of suicide bombings in western Mosul on Saturday, according to a local police officer.
Six Daesh bombers blew up themselves in Bab al-Toub district in Mosul's Old City with Daesh militants seizing control of two buildings in the area where federal police personnel were stationed, First Lieutenant Harith Kazim told Anadolu Agency.
"Fourteen police personnel were killed and 20 others injured in the attacks," he said.
He said Iraqi police forces managed to recapture the two buildings after the intervention of the Iraqi warplanes, killing 17 militants.
Meanwhile, Iraqi authorities relieved general Ali al-Lami, the commander of the federal police's 5th Battalion, of his duties over "security breaches" in Mosul's Old City, according to police officer Ahmed al-Jabouri.
In October, the Iraqi army -- backed by U.S.-led coalition airstrikes and local allies on the ground -- began a wide-ranging operation to retake Mosul, Daesh’s last bastion in northern Iraq, which the militant group overran in 2014.
