Marine One

Charles Denyer's publication on Marine One for the White House Historical Association is a brief historical overview of the iconic call sign for any Marine Corps helicopter transporting the President of the United States, a symbol of the ultimate power and security of the presidency. When the President is on board, this aircraft transforms into Marine One, shrouded in the highest levels of secrecy and protection.

Operated by the elite Marine Helicopter Squadron One (HMX-1), Marine One is more than just a mode of transportation; it's a flying fortress, bristling with advanced technology and defenses designed to shield the Commander-in-Chief from any threat. Each ascent and descent of Marine One represents a blend of precision engineering and elite military prowess, ensuring the President's journey is not only swift but shrouded in an aura of unyielding security and command.
