With president in control, DC National Guard's called in for Army's 250th birthday celebration

  • On Saturday, June 14, more than 7,000 soldiers took part in a grand event in Washington, D.C., marking the 250th anniversary of the Army.
  • The event occurred amid the unique federal command structure of the D.C. National Guard, which remains under the president’s authority rather than the mayor’s control.
  • The celebration included a festival in the capital, a swearing-in ceremony for new recruits, displays of military gear, and a cake-cutting between the oldest veteran and youngest recruit.
  • President Trump warned protesters would be met with "very big force," while officials expected no widespread disruptions during the parade and festival.
  • The event honored two and a half centuries of Army service and symbolized a passing of the torch to future soldiers, reinforcing the Army’s heritage and commitment.
