It did seem a little unusual, if only because they entered the frame of the camera, had to know they were doing so, and it was not a formal, regimented and stylized movement as it would have been, had it been ceremonial. They were coming down fairly quickly. No idea what it was about. Hope there was no threat, but I admit the thought did cross my mind at the time.
I thought maybe it was a signal of support and warning to any no - goods that the military supports returning the power to the people.
The first soldier that came down before the group layed down a couple of umbrellas. Some speculate they were passing out pocnhos. Although it seems like Pr. Bush and others had their cheap ponchos before this. Who knows. If it was protection against a threat I would think they would have stayed longer.

It looked like the rain was picking up. I thought they were some sort of umbrella detail. My first thought was one of concern though.
