Probably Domestic Security Service or something like that. They protect dignitaries, diplomat and people like that, or might be part of the Marine Security Guard/Embassy detail.

Don't know if that's who is pictured but NCIS Special Agents provide close personal protection to the SECNAV.

Tuckerrnr1You’re right snowflakes, there’s no reason for a senior US civilian politician to be carrying a firearm, especially in unstable countries mired in war. Look at Ambassador Stevens; he was in a war zone and didn’t have a gun, and everything turned out fine. Oh, wait, never mind

That's not woodland it's hunting camo. Probably a Contractor,NCIS/PSD Agent, could be a LEP (if they are still in use) or from one of the other Federal Agencies present in theatre.

I think you are referring to the Diplomatic Security Service (DSS), who are the security arm of the Department of State (DSS).

JALLENWhat does he do in Baltimore, or Chicago, or other danger zones?
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.
When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown
