Normal. I’ve lived in Maryland all my life. Worked in the DC/Northern Virginia area for the last 20 years. Since 9/11, they’ve always shut the streets down moments before it comes through and always have this many vehicles. I will say, I’ve never seen the black vans or ambulances before. It’s usually only motorcycles, suburbans and of course, the beast.
Totally normal. Lead vehicles. One of the first Suburbans was the C-IED vehicle running jamming. 2 limos I think. Press pool vans. Counter assault team in suburbans (with XM155 pop up minigun) and vans, ambulance in case of emergency.
Hard to see who was in the vehicles.
Does anyone know if this is a normal motorcade?
Presidential motorcade
But is it normal for it to have so many vehicles in the presidential motorcade? That guy sounded so excited like it was unusual.

Ambulances pulling up the rear isn't rare.
Black vans may mean more security though.

If anything, the motorcade seemed light to me. I still don’t know why they were driving that direction.
