US army plans for a potential parade of 6,600 soldiers on Trump’s birthday

The U.S. military is set to stage its largest parade in decades, marking a significant 250th-anniversary celebration on the National Mall this summer. The event, coinciding with Donald Trump’s birthday week on June 14, will feature over 6,600 soldiers, 150 vehicles, and thousands of civilians, with costs estimated to reach tens of millions for logistics and feeding. Concerns about infrastructure from heavy tanks have been raised, but flexibility remains as plans may change. Additionally, President Trump has pledged to rename victory days, blending patriotic themes with military history.
