The Andaman and Nicobar Command (ANC) is a integrated tri-services command of the Indian Armed Forces, based at Port Blair in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, a Union Territory of India.

It provides logistical and administrative support to naval ships which are sent on deployment to East Asia and the Pacific Ocean.
