For the last couple of years, I've noticed the Avenger missile battery atop of the parking garage at the Navy base in SE. I've heard there was also a semi-permanent unit on the grounds of Walter Reed (these are Humvee-based systems).

I'm just curious if anyone has seen any others? One used to show up on the levees by the South Capitol Bridge, but I haven't seen that one for a few years now.

I've seen a few on the Mall by the Vietnam Memorial and down in Haines Point.
