Washington – The army is planning a large parade for the urging of the White House on June 14th – on the day on which the service shares a birthday with President Donald Trump, a US official said.

The plans for the parade include 6,000 soldiers, helicopters and armored vehicles, including Strykers, Bradley Fighting Vehicles and possibly Abrams M-1 tanks, said the official, who is not justified to speak publicly.

The army had planned a big celebration for its 250TH Anniversary on June 14th, when officials from the White House suggested a parade. Soldiers march at the President's opening events, but it is unclear whether they took part in a birthday party of the President. The officer warned that the plans for the parade will remain temporarily, but the event probably seems to see.

The Associated Press first reported the parade plans. It will probably cost millions of dollars, and the Parade route is planned to carry out the heart of Washington, DC, along the constitution Avenue, the official said.

During his first term, Trump appeared in Washington at the celebration on July 4th. And the military provided equipment, including Bradleys, on request and transfer. He was criticized for this, there were also concerns about the damage to the city's streets by heavy armor, so that the vehicles remained immobile so as not to chew the sidewalk.

The army is planning a number of other events to celebrate its anniversary apart from the parade.
