The team of at least 500 will include White House aides, a six-doctor medical team and a squad of personal chefs. There will be more than 200 secret service agents, many of them armed.

The limousine will be accompanied by a motorcade of at least 20 vehicles plus a dozen police motorcycle outriders.**
