WH in-town travel pool report #3/ Awaiting POTUS remarks

POTUS's motorcade stopped at 9.10am after a short journey on the base, passing by brick buildings and neat lawns. A group of uniformed service members stood in line and saluted. Three service members stood with rifles.

Pool is now sitting in the Warner Auditorium, which is full to capacity with members of the military. POTUS's lectern is set up with a big US flag and black curtain behind, and 10 various flags on either side. The stage is framed by a red curtain. The ceiling and walls are wood-panelled.

TV cameras and other media are sitting at the back. Military music was playing and Secretary Hegseth is now introducing POTUS.
