Which statement is true about HM-14 and HM-15?

• A. They are located at NS Norfolk, Virginia
• B. They are based in Pearl Harbor
• C. They fly fixed-wing aircraft
• D. They are Coast Guard units

Answer: (A)

HM-14 and HM-15 are Navy helicopter mine countermeasure squadrons, and their home base is Naval Station Norfolk in Virginia. This matters because the Mine Countermeasures community in the Navy uses rotary-wing aircraft to locate and clear mines, not fixed-wing airplanes, and their units are Navy, not Coast Guard. Pearl Harbor is a Pacific location, not their base, and the mission is carried out with helicopters rather than fixed-wing aircraft.
