DC Prepares for Military Parade: What to Know

Washington D.C. will hold a military parade on June 14 to celebrate the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary and President Trump's 79th birthday.
Originally planned as a modest celebration, the event expanded significantly after Trump announced plans for a large-scale parade with tanks and artillery.
The parade features more than 100 combat vehicles, 28 Abrams tanks, 50 helicopters, paratroopers, and includes a concert and fireworks.
Authorities expect around 200,000 attendees, deploy over 18 miles of anti-scale fencing, 175 magnetometers, numerous drones, and have designated it a National Special Security Event.
Though no credible threats exist, multiple counter-protests and major traffic disruptions are expected, highlighting the event's political and security sensitivities.
