The Smithsonian Institution coordinated the Reunion.  They used their LTR PassPort system (see above) for operations.  Production Radio Rentals licensed (WQAD337) four repeaters (25 watts ERP) for the Dedication under a Special Temporary Authorization (STA).  The license authorizes 250 4 watt portables on each repeater channel.  The repeater output frequencies are 451.1625, 451.2625, 451.4625, and 451.8125.  Traffic Management (TMS) coordinated bus, car, and pedestrian traffic, probably using rented radios.  Bearcom provided some of the rented radios.  Park Police, who probably had primary jurisdiction over the Dedication, used their channels (see Federal section above).  Capitol Police used their channels (see Federal section above).

DC Fire, who coordinated medical response for the Dedication, used several talkgroups on their trunked system.  On Special Events 1 (talkgroup 2096), "Medical Branch" and "Divison 1" were monitored.  On Special Events 2 (talkgroup 2112), units talked about receiving faxes.  On Special Events 3 (talkgroup 2128), "RFK branch" was monitored.  On the Emergency talkgroup (2576), units talked about locations of medical emergencies and "North Command to Medical Branch" was monitored.  DC Emergency Management Agency (EMA) used their Channel 1 (talkgroup 35536).  On talkgroup 34448, "shuttling doctors" and "scooter patrol" were monitored.
