The Protective escot is not for the CID team. But the Judiciary team...
The CID Team operates by themselves, going ahead of the judiciary team and it's escort like the US Marshals of the old west. They arrive at a cantanoment that has said they've got a problem, and investigate it. If the problem is bigger than the commander of the cantonment's ability to judge impartially they place the call for judiciary detachment who then comes with their MP escort.
And while the MPs don't currently have motorcycle escorts, in a T2k setting, the motorcycles have a good flexibity that Humvees don't....
I didn't know about the weight, the 400gal trailers were the only ones i could find the identifications for.. they carry fuel for their convoy, and supplies that they might need to support themselves (and possibly escort the offenders back to upper echelon command).
Using WW2 as a model of the Inspector General and JAG Corps, the military justice system was very interesting. It's what gave me the idea for this little ecounter group.

Your wife can't remember your last name, your kids don't want to talk to you... You get to eat a lot of meals by yourself. Trust me kid, nobody wants to be that guy. I do this because there is nobody else to do it right now. Believe me if there was somebody else to do it, I would let them do it. There's not, so I'm doing it.
