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.
It’s possible Ive just never noticed the ambulances before this. I will say the black vans are a little suspicious. Security usually rides around in the suburbans. It’s definitely possible they could be moving someone they don’t want anyone to see in the black vans. Maybe a former pResident...???
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.
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.

Press pool, more likely, and even the excited guy said it was the pool (or something along those lines)

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