HHC stands for Headquarters and Headquarters Company, a military unit and organization abbreviation.

Company that contains a battalion's or brigade's headquarters staff and the soldiers who support it, including the staff sections, communications and often specialized platoons. Artillery units use HHB (battery) and cavalry units HHT (troop).

Example: Report to HHC supply to sign for your field gear before the exercise.

Usage notes

The doubled "headquarters" reflects two elements: the unit's command headquarters and the company that administers its soldiers. Its commander is usually a captain, and the HHC first sergeant handles a diverse mix of staff and specialist soldiers.
