Usage Note
Escolta is feminine even when it refers to a male guard (el escolta is also acceptable as a masculine agent noun). It covers both the person providing protection and the accompanying group (una escolta policial — a police escort). In basketball Spanish, escolta also means 'shooting guard', so context matters.
Examples
"El presidente viajó con escolta."
Natural Translation
The president travelled with an escort.
