When a head of State or Head of Goverment visits a foreign nation He or she will bring along a large amount of staff and equipment unique to there needs. However once away from there national Aircraft Whether leased from a national carrier or owned by There Government, Once on the Ground most Heads of State have to barrow transport form the local government to be transported...
The US, Russia and the UK ( on occasion) do not do that. Instead because the President of the United States of America is coming to the G20 The US Secret Service is moving to bring all the equipment and personal he and his entourage will be needing.
The Close Presidential detail will fly in on the two VC25 ( Boeing 747 200 Short ) the one carrying the president sporting the code name Air Force One. but additional personal will be flown in to support the president via civil and military transports.
To Support Air Force One the Us will bring spare parts and barrow or even supply a fully loaded fuel tanker truck with fuel that has been certified as not tampered with, some times even boarding ramp vehicles.
The President's wheels are flown in. The presidential motorcade this will include dozens of armored and modified black vehicles operated by the US Secret service with other agencies likely tacked on including a medical staff, Intelligence staff from a verity of US Agencies, a Counter Assault Team and more.
Vehicles will be shipped in in C17's including Armored GMC Suburbans, Police version sedans in black and Chrome by Ford, GM and Chrysler and multiple "Cadillac one"
Custom built Cadillac marked limos that are more MRAP then luxury car dubbed The Beast due to it's heavy duty truck engine and chassis with almost as much armor as your standard Abrams Main battle tank but a much nicer Leather interior and kicking sound system. With Run flat tires, NBC over pressure Smoke grenades, Tear gas dispensers, Bullet proof glass, Fused sensor electro optics, Satellite navigation, A secure sat com, a Refrigerator storing extra supplies of the President's Blood Type, A self sealing Gas tank, and more cup holders then you can shake a stick at. Heck it even has a Place to stow your 12 Gauge Shotgun ans seating for 7.
Also going will likely be the Only Black hawks used by the USMC the VH60N White Hawk Based on the HH60D Night Hawk Air frame It's been fitted out with a more... VIP friendly interior and a Full suite of Defensive systems. the White Hawks are used during abroad trips as they are easier to fly via C5 or C17 then the VH3D Sea Kings that have been used since the 1970's.
State visits by the President of the United States of America have been compared to a small bloodless Invasion because of the security and assets brought in.

USA is a very rich country, the Secret Service only for President possible dozens of agents they are also still obsessed with security since the assassination of Kennedy, 1961, Reagan in 1981 injured and possible one other.

Look the device in january on Pennsylvania Avenue... and you understand.

Only US and Russian President get their own limousine in officials meeting, French use a " normal " loaned but more cheaper for taxpaper :cool:
