Washington – President Donald Trump may finally get his convoy.
The US military is planning to celebrate not only the celebration of the 250th anniversary of its founding, but also the 79th birthday of President Trump, both of which fall on June 14. This celebration is likely to bring tanks, hundreds of other military vehicles and aircraft in the streets of the capital in June and above, according to three defense officials familiar with planning.
During the first period of Trump, the president sought to obtain a large military procession, but the plans were kept on the cost and fears that some military vehicles, especially the tracking vehicles such as tanks, could greatly harm the streets of Washington, DC and carry a large price for reforms. The estimate of the plan that is planning now is “tens of millions of dollars,” according to two defense officials.
Trump has not forgotten and now he is considering a military parade to honor Christmas. The three defense officials said that the current plans call for more than 150 military cars and 50 aircraft to wander through a procession through Washington on June 10. Two officials said this could include wheel wheel vehicles, such as Hamifi, trucks, and so -called tracking vehicles, such as tanks.
Two officials said that the plane would include Chinook’s Chinook and Black Hawk helicopters. Two officials said that it is expected that the famous golden knights will jump from the top, the land near the viewership, and to present the flag to the important personalities, most likely Trump.
The army did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The tank plan is not yet final. Officials said that one of the options under study is to put tanks on trailers, which would reduce some of the damage to the streets, but this may also affect the aesthetics of the show. Two officials said they were also planning to obtain a separate starting area of heavy vehicles so that they would not have to cross any of the capital’s bridges.
The officials said the vehicles would have been going down in the streets of Washington in columns Comparing some critics of the planned presentation during his first term To what usually appears in places like North Korea and Russia. Currently, the plan is to obtain Bradley combat vehicles, armored combat vehicles, new army infantry vehicles and more, officials said. All army vehicles will be extracted from the Ten Army sections, which have been often brought through a train of bases such as Fort Bliss, Texas to Fort Dram, New York.
Officials said that each section will devote between 200 and 400 people in the show. Under the current plan, some forces sleep in government buildings, including the Ministry of Agriculture and the American Public Services Department, according to two defense officials.
When asked about the presentation last month, the mayor of the capital, Morel Bousser, confirmed that the planning was in the early stages and that the Trump administration had continued on this issue, but said that it had not been directly discussed.
The officials explained that the issue of the offer will include American wars throughout the history of the army and includes soldiers who are going in the costume of the period.
The plans are still developing, but the current early estimate is that the supply and fixed offers in the capital will cost up to 45 million dollars, according to two defense officials, who said that this may change with the continued planning. Two officials said that the final estimates from within the army have not yet been completed because the show plans were not fully approved by the White House and the army.
Three officials said that the individual army units would bear the final cost of the review. In some cases, units have to spend more than a million dollars to participate. The officials said this may affect the money used for training. One of the defense officials said: “Can the offer affect the training?” “Will it affect the training? This is unclear.”
