Army One

VH-3A (150617) på Nixon Library. Helikopteren blev benyttet fra 1961 til 1976, og fløj ofte som Army One.
Richard Nixon forlader Det Hvide Hus med Army One.

Army One er flyvekontroltjenestens officielle kaldesignal på et hvilken som helst af den amerikanske hærs fly, der befordrer USA's præsident.

Fra 1957 til 1976 var opgaven med at transportere præsidenten og vicepræsidenten med helikopter delt mellem hæren og det amerikanske marinekorps, indtil US Marines fik det fulde ansvar for helikoptertransporten, kaldet Marine One. Da opgaven var delt, var kaldesignalet enten Army One eller Marine One, alt efter hvilket værn personalet på helikopteren repræsenterede.

Hvis kun vicepræsidenten er ombord er kaldesignalet Army Two.

Flag of the United States Navy.svg
The Flag of the United States Navy, as defined in Executive Order 10812 of April 24, 1959. The design is described there as:

The flag for the United States Navy is 4 feet 4 inches hoist by 5 feet 6 inches fly, of dark blue material, with yellow fringe, 2½ inches wide. In the center of the flag is a device 3 feet and 1 inch overall consisting of the inner pictorial portion of the seal of the Department of the Navy (with the exception that a continuation of the sea has been substituted for the land area), in its proper colors within a circular yellow rope edging, all 2 feet 6 inches in diameter above a yellow scroll inscribed "UNITED STATES NAVY" in dark blue letters.

The U.S. Navy flag is used for display purposes at ceremonies, parades, and other public functions where the U.S. Navy has an official presence, usually being carried by an honor guard on ceremonial occasions. It is not used for outdoor, fixed (permanent) purposes, and is not flown on Navy ships. Versions without fringe and different dimensions seem to be common, though it appears they are not technically the official U.S. Navy flag, as the executive order has not been amended.

Prior to 1959, the Navy Infantry Battalion flag was used to represent the U.S. Navy.
