The newly decommissioned Marine One helicopter found a new home with the U.S. Secret Service.

In a video posted to X on Wednesday, Secret Service Deputy Special Agent in Charge Troy Sarria announced the famed aircraft, a Sikorsky VH-3D, is now being used for special agent training at the Rowley Training Center in Maryland.

Over the last 50 years, Marine One has flown every U.S. president and vice president.

“It’s a genuine piece of presidential and Secret Service history,” Sarria said.

Agents going to the president’s or vice president’s detail will have the opportunity to learn in a hands-on, realistic training environment thanks to the new addition.

“We are able to give the basic special agent classes more and better protective training,” Sarria said. “This is another step forward in advancing the Secret Service’s training capability here at the Rowley Training Center.”
