Identify the two Helicopter MCM Squadrons.

Identify the two Helicopter MCM Squadrons.

• A. HM-11 and HM-12
• B. HM-14 and HM-15
• C. HM-13 and HM-14
• D. HM-15 and HM-16

Answer: (B)

The concept being tested is how the Navy designates its helicopter-based Mine Countermeasures units. Helicopter Mine Countermeasures Squadrons are designated with HM and a number, and the two squadrons responsible for airborne MCM operations are HM-14 and HM-15. This pairing reflects the current helicopter MCM force structure, making them the correct duo for identifying the two helicopter MCM squadrons. The other numbers relate to different squadrons or older/alternate designations, so they don’t match the current helicopter MCM pair.
