We stayed at the Hampton Inn in Harrisonburg, VA on Wed night and the parking lot was filled with blue unmarked trucks of various sizes bearing Government plates. On Oct 24 while staying at the Hampton Inn in Abingdon, VA on business I saw the almost the same contingent in the parking lot. In Oct 2016 while staying at the Hilton in North Myrtle Beach there was a like contingent staying there. All in all there were several Suburbans, two or three utility service type trucks pulling trailers and an ambulance type vehicle, all unmarked with matching navy blue paint. Having seen them there different times at three different locations curiosity has gotten the belter of me. Any thoughts on what they are?

 Those vehicles belong to the National Guard Civil Support Team, which is a  Guard unit dealing specifically with Weapons of Mass Destruction.  If there were a WMD event, these would be the guys to respond, and additionally they do preparedness runs as well.  It’s not uncommon to see them operating at mass-gatherings such as sporting events and concerts. Their Command Center is  at the Y12 Security Complex in Oak Ridge Tennessee.They also protect the transport of nuclear material.   Paul

Jim, they were basically the exact same assortment as in the Youtube video on the 3-occasions I have been staying at the same hotel. Seems like the like Hilton properties. Maybe they are Hilton Honors members and are building up points :)
