today i was driving down the freeway and saw a military vehicle w/ men on top and they had their BIG guns out?

it looked like the pics you see of the men and women patrolling the streets of iraq, on the big tank-type vehicles (but the kind w/ actual wheels, not those weird chain thingies) where they’re standing on top with their m-16′s or whatever big guns out and ready, just in case, only it was on a california freeway! we’re far from any base that i know of, they were headed north, and san diego is south of me. 29 palms and all that, im not sure what direction that is from me, but its a good 1.5 hrs away. so what im basically wondering is, i’ve seen military vehicles before, but never w/ the boys on top with their giant guns out in their hands! does anyone know what this was? i assume the guns werent loaded and it was some kind of training activity, but i grew up in a HEAVILY military populated area and have never seen this before, especially not on the freeway and not w/ the guns out!
lol i was NOT being paranoid, i could plainly see them, and im very used to seeing military vehicles on the road. like i said, i grew up in norfolk, va, look it up, world’s largest naval base, but anyway, i’ve seen a million convoys and military vehicles by themselves, and w/ the boys standing on top, but never holding guns. they weren’t small guns, they were BIG, so i didn’t imagine them. and im not being paranoid b/c i didn’t find this sight worrisome in the least, i just am curious to know if anyone w/ any military background whatsoever knows why they would have been there like that. like i said, i assume it was training, but what a long way from base they were!
it wasn’t a tank w/ a mounted gun, they were guns the boys were holding. and i highly doubt it was a movie shoot, although a good theory, because we were in rush hour on friday afternoon in heavy traffic on the 15 freeway. about 2 hours north of camp pendleton.
