Marine Helicopter Squadron One
George W. Bush waves goodbye as he leaves for the Summit of the Americas
in Quebec, Canada.
HMX-1 was established in December 1947 as an experimental unit to test
and evaluate helicopters and tactics.
HMX-1 provides all helicopter transportation for the President both
overseas and within the continental United States.
In addition, HMX-1 provides helicopter transportation for the Vice
President, members of the President's Cabinet, and foreign dignitaries as
directed by the White House Military Office.
HMX-1 also provides helicopter emergency evacuation and other support as
directed by the Commandant of the Marine Corps.
Marine One is the call sign used when the President is on board of one of
the HMX-1 Marine helicopters. The primary presidential helicopter is the
Sikorsky VH-3D (Sea King).
HMX-1 is tasked with the Operational Test and Evaluation of US Marine
Corps assault helicopters and related equipment.
