CORRECTION/CLARIFICATION: ***************************************************************** Three light helicopter anti-submarine squadrons - HSL 30, 32 and 24 - were erroneously included in a list Sunday of the region's top military commands and units. The three squadrons were previously decomissioned. Also, the Naval Exchange Command is in Virginia Beach but not at Fort Story, as noted on the list.
