It happened during the last inauguration but as metro police officers, not deputy US Marshalls. This certainly isn't common. I think the most obvious reason is to give them some flexibility with deployment. As US Marshall deputies they have enforcement power across state lines which in DC could come in handy.

You can see the entire base from the outside, it'd be tough to hide anything there. I guess it is kind of in the middle of nowhere though. Abilene is a decent sized city but it's two hours away from Fort Worth and there isn't much more than trailer parks and tumbleweeds between the two.
Fort's Hood and Sill are a 3-4 hour drive away and Bliss is about 6 hours away. I guess it makes sense if you wanted a massive amount of troops available.
Biden somehow won Tarrant County yet almost every thing down ticket was solid conservative. I'm a conservative and I don't even like Cornyn but he beat a shareblue candidate handily. I really don't like Kay Granger and she blew away everyone. My county is solid red aside from Abortion Barbie's former district and even they picked a moderate democrat over a very right leaning conservative in the prior election.
We love our guns, we have lots of old oil money, cattle and don't usually trust democrats. There is no way Biden beat Trump here in a fair election.
Nevermind the car, the city is going to need a structural engineer to come out and determine if the lamp post is repairable. Along with a union electrician, a flag man, a full crane team and possibly a street repair team if it is deemed unsafe. That's going to be $10k+
