The US Army is planning a parade for the anniversary – and Trump's birthday

Washington President Donald Trump could finally get his parade.

The US Army is planning a big celebration to not only recognize the 250th anniversary of its foundation, but also the 79th birthday of President Trump. Both autumn on June 14th. This celebration may bring tanks and hundreds of other military vehicles and planes to the streets of the country in the country's capital in June, according to three defense officials familiar with the planning.

During Trump's first term of office, the President tried a large military parade, but the plans were ceased due to costs and concerns that some of the military vehicles, especially vehicles such as tanks, were able to significantly damage the streets of Washington, DC, and raised a large price for repairs. According to two of the defense officers, the estimate for the parade that is now planned is “tens of million dollars”.

Trump has not forgotten and is now considering a military parade to honor both birthdays. The current plans require more than 150 military vehicles and 50 aircraft to rumble through Washington on June 10th by a prime route through Washington. This includes weiring vehicles such as Humvees and trucks and so-called persecuted vehicles such as tanks, according to two of the officials.

The plane will include CH-47 Chinook helicopters and 60 Black Hawk helicopters, two of the officials said. And the famous golden knights are expected to jump from above, land near the sightseeing stands and deliver a flag to the VIPs, most likely Trump, said two of the officials.

The army celebrates its 250th birthday with a series of events, including fireworks, a festival and a parade, said the spokesman for the army, Steve Warren, in an explanation. “Parade planning is active, and we expect approximately 150 vehicles, 50 aircraft and 6,600 soldiers to highlight the nation's 250 years of service,” said Warren.

The plan for the tanks is not yet final. A tested option is to put the tanks on supporters that would alleviate part of the road damage, but which could also affect the aesthetics of the parade, officials said. They also plan a separate staging area for the heavy vehicles so that they do not have to cross DC bridges, two of the officials said.

The vehicles would roll down the streets from Washington in Columns, the officials, according to the officials that some critics of the planned parade in their first term compared to what can usually be seen in places such as North Korea and Russia can be seen. The plan is currently that Bradley fighting vehicles, Stryker armored fights, the new Infantry Vehicles of the Army and more, said the officials. All army vehicles would come from the 10 divisions of the army, which were mainly brought by train from bases such as Fort Bliss, Texas, to Fort Drum, New York.

Every division will dedicate between 200 and 400 people to the parade, the officials said. According to the current plan, some troops in government buildings, including the buildings of agriculture and the US General Services Administration, were sleeping, according to two of the defense officials.

When asked about the parade last month, the Mayor of DC, Muriel Bowser, confirmed that the planning was in the early stages and that the Trump administration had asked about it, said that she was not yet directly involved.

The parade topic will include US wars in the history of the army and soldiers in periodical uniforms, the officials said.

The plans are still developing, but the current early estimate is that the parade and static ads in DC will cost up to 45 million US dollars, which said that this could change in the course of planning. The last estimates from the army are not yet complete, since the plans for the parade of the White House and the Army have not yet been fully approved, two of the officials said.

Individual army units will bear the ultimate costs of the parade, three of the officials said. In some cases, units would have to spend more than 1 million US dollars for participation. This could affect funds that were used for the training, said officials. “Could the parade work out the training? In any case,” said one of the defense officers. “Will it affect training? That is unclear.”
