Marine One is the call sign of any U.S. Marine Corps rotary aircraft when the President of the United States is on board. When the President is aboard a fixed-wing aircraft, the call sign is Air Force One.
Marine One is used both overseas and within America. It usually signifies one of 19 helicopters in the HMX-1 “Nighthawks” squadron. It also provides transportation for the Vice President, members of the President’s Cabinet, and foreign dignitaries as directed by the White House Military Office.
