I wonder why the Navy was the decision-maker on this one?

The Presidential helicopter is operated by the U.S.M.C.

Thanks for the info, although I think it's a flawed rationale. The Army trains the Marine chopper pilots.

Yes, that is correct. The Marines are a Department of the U.S. Navy, and being an ex-swab, I was quickly reminded that yes, that's true, the Men's Department! LOL!
