The White House Military Office requested the helicopter's presence in a fragmentary order, or FRAGO, barely 36 hours before the helicopter landed on the South Lawn for the "unusual" event, according to the records of Marine Helicopter Squadron One (HMX-1), the unit responsible for operating the helicopter.
根据负责操作该直升机的部队海军陆战队直升机第一飞行队 (HMX-1) 的记录，白宫军事办公室要求该直升机按日常命令 (FRAGO) 现身，即在该直升机降落在南草坪参加此次“特别”活动前仅 36 小时。
