    For a while both the Army and the Marines had a unit that for the President (Army One and Marine One). During the Carter Administration, he decided to cut Executive expenses and eliminated Army One, so now only Marine One exists.

    Source(s): Father was a pilot in Army One under both the Johnson and Nixon administrations.

    Not sure what you're talking about. Anytime a President is in a Marine Corps helicopter it becomes Marine One, just as any plane becomes Air Force One.
