I would say that in the interest of national security they can do what ever they want to with the aircraft/vehicles that transport the POUSA.If you know what anything about counter measures one look at any of the Marine One choppers you will notice that they have redundant counter measure systems even the AH-64 has less counter measures.
They openly use the "Air Force One" and "Marine One" names for symbolic reasons and to promote Esprit de corps.The true protocol in order to know that information You would need to be a part of the respective command and also need to know I am sure that the fuels guy and the jet engine mechanic have no idea what the protocol is.
