Couldn't see it the video very well, but the man said the truckstop convoy was armed. Took part in several of these, no weapons were to be visible on US public roads.
Policy might've changed since then, or this convoy is taking care of some real business.
Typically, no (from my experience with CONUS NG convoys). Our protocol was one vehicle transported our firearms with armed guards & everyone else rode unarmed. YMMV this was for drill weekends & stuff when we went to the range at a different base.
I deleted my original comment, because I watched the video in question. Vehicles are on wheels. Look like strikers. Still way out of the ordinary to be on a convoy. But you are absolutely right. I’m just not seeing where the weapons are. Am I missing something? Help me out here.
Maybe it's just an interesting coincidence that POTUS will be giving a speech tomorrow at the Alamo of all places? Never mind no historical relevance there right?
Whatever, the point is Why even bother if we All Know that "If" China Joe is sworn in a week from Wednesday that wall will be taken down toot sweet. We Know that isn't going to happen though, my point is there's another reason to choose there at this point in time we'll see
Yes. I did not mean DC! There are people claiming NG is mobilizing in Texas. That is all.
Like OP stated, military convoys happen all the time. I see it a lot in Cali.

I believe I saw at least 1 or 2 of the soldiers walking on the ground as part of the convoy openly carrying M4s.
Is that common / normal?
Armed?

I have an opinion on this. My father helped out with two hurricane deployments. They were issued guns (and magazines) But no ammo was distributed.
Nope. SHTF
& damage to civilian infrastructure...

I didn’t see any arms, and truck stops are commonly used as military refuel points for convoys.

Not THE Alamo, rather the town of “Alamo, Texas” near the border. I’m sure the speech will be referencing the wall.
Edit: spelling
