King of Battle: 15th MEU's Battery participates in Alligator Dagger's Fire Support Coordination Exercise
U.S. 5TH FLEET AREA OF OPERATIONS – Section chiefs with Battery C., Battalion Landing Team, 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit explain in their own words why artillery is known as the king of battle. The battery Marines are participating in the Fire Support Coordination Exercise conducting fire missions in response to Joint Tactical Air Controllers call for fire against notional enemy positions during Alligator Dagger, Sept. 8, 2017. Alligator Dagger is an opportunity for the Blue-Green team to demonstrate they are a strong, flexible force ready to execute crisis response missions within the CENTCOM area of responsibility. The MEU-ARG’s flexibility to conduct aggregated or disaggregated operations makes it uniquely suited to consistently respond to mission sets TF 51/5 may task at particularly decisive points for combat operations or humanitarian missions setting them apart from their forward deployed counterparts.(U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl.
