Unsure if the DC guys are armed with rifles or not, unless the rifles are being carried by vehicle. Armed soldiers marching in DC would cause a much bigger stir if they were carrying openly, so I'd expect concealed carry such as compact SMG or PDWs in their rucks or something, and a service pistol.
The convoy in TX is definitely armed, you can see the top-mounted guns on them.
EDIT: at ~50 seconds you can see the infantryman behind that vehicle carrying a rifle.

We have always convoyed for FTX (field training exercise) with weapons.
