It is expected that hundreds of thousands of celebrities will be overwhelmed by the streets of Washington, DC, on Saturday to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the American army.
Army officials said the offer, which has a population of millions of dollars-which also coincides with the 79th birthday of President Trump, will include a dramatic show of about 6,600 soldiers in addition to hundreds of vehicles and aircraft.
“We will spend a great time, we will keep a great celebration,” Trump said, describing the festival.
The planning planning was underway for a better part of two years, but the military vehicle procession was added to the celebrations this year, according to army officials, who told CBS News that the armed services branch is unlikely to admit Trump's birthday during the show.
Officials said that the event price was estimated between $ 25 million and 45 million dollars, although the accurate cost has not yet been revealed.
Although the event will be in line with Trump's birthday, the timing is just a coincidence.
The second continental continental conference voted on June 14, 1775, after battles against the British in Concorde and Lexington, the leader of George Washington, the next day.
The Army Secretary Dresscol told the House of Representatives Armed Services Committee that the offer represents a “amazing opportunity” to tell the story about the army, and can even pay the profits of employment.
“I think specifically that telling this story will lead directly to a recruitment boom that will fill our pipeline for the coming years,” Drskol said.
The festival will start at the National Commercial Center at 9:30 am on Saturday, until 6 pm, the military parade will start at 6:30 pm, starting from 23 -west Street, North West Street along Al -Dustour Street to the fifteenth street, and concludes around 7:30 pm that Fox News will broadcast special coverage of the review from 6 to 10 pm East time; If you do not have a cable, you can watch free with a five -day direction.
The fireworks show is scheduled to follow the mall at approximately 9:45 pm
The offer will be the first such knights since the end of the Gulf War in 1991, where about 200,000 people gathered in the National Commercial Center to watch about 8,000 members of the service in a march in the national victory procession.
Since the huge equipment – some of them, such as the M1A1 Abrams tank that weighs more than 60 tons – was not designed to roll the streets of the paved city, the army made special preparations to reduce the damage to DC roads.
Before the display, the army puts one inch stereotypes, ranging from 4 to 8 feet to 8 to 20 feet, at points on the road where the heavier vehicles will turn.
The army pledged to pay the price of reforms if any streets are damaged, which may add $ 16 million to the festival price, according to NBC News.
American Colonel Jesse Curry, who heads the office of the President of Engineers, told reporters on Monday during a security briefing that the vehicles will also increase with the rubber track to increase the mitigation of the damage, noting that they will travel slowly.
The show will be a lesson in living history, and every era of the army extends from the revolutionary war to this day-until the future-where thousands of soldiers will be decorated in costume and tools suitable for the age.
The front and the center of the show will be a greeting to the American revolution, which includes the Dragon forces installed on horses equipped with uniforms and weapons of that time.
This civil war will be the civil war, which includes 12 Texas Stides leading the march and a pagist pulling a vehicle to symbolize the Western expansion that followed the conflict, which included dozens of battles with indigenous Americans.
The First World War and World War II will be represented with a classic Renault tank, the famous armored vehicle used by the allies, as well as a 1918 car dodge tour.
The Second World War section of the show will be the largest, as it includes multiple American trucks and a pocket used in the war and is equipped with US allies, including Chevrolet G7117 and Ford GPW.
This section is also when weather events begin, with B-25 Mitchell Bomber, C-47 Skytrain Transport, and P-51 Musatang Fighter Plane to fly over the capital.
Conflicts during the Cold War era, such as Korean and Vietnam wars, will witness that the aircraft procession continues with OH-6 Cayuse, AH-1 Cobra and UH-1 IROQUOIS.
The next section will start with the M2 Bradley Fighted Armored vehicle that was published during the Gulf War in the early 1990s.
Besides the armored vehicle, the forces will also display Paladin and M1A1 ABRAMS tanks, and M119 Howitzer.
Vehicles of the war will also be shown on terrorism, including the United States' Modern Armored, which has become the main element of the American war in the Middle East.
The last section includes a group of American equipment of previous wars that are still used today, along with new additions such as the M777 Howitzer used in Afghanistan.
The offer is not without controversy – the cost has been scrutinized by members of Congress, especially since the Trump administration has made the amazing government spending reduction a priority.
