Army plan for potential parade on Trump's birthday includes "thousands" of troops, says defense official

The Army is planning for a potential military parade on President Trump's birthday in June that would include "thousands" of troops, as well and Bradley and Stryker fighting vehicles, a defense official confirmed.

According to planning documents obtained by the AP, the parade calls for over 6,600 soldiers, at least 150 vehicles, 50 helicopters, tanks, seven bands and possibly a couple thousand civilians.

The documents, dated April 29 and 30, have not been publicly released. They represent the Army's most recent blueprint for its long-planned 250th anniversary festival on the National Mall and the newly added element — a large military parade that Mr. Trump has long wanted.
