💨 Abstract

The U.S. Army incurred approximately $30 million for its 250th anniversary parade in June, which coincided with President Donald Trump's birthday. The event featured 6,600 soldiers, 150 military vehicles, and 50 helicopters. The Army installed $3 million worth of steel plates to protect roads from damage caused by heavy military equipment, with reported minimal damage confirmed by D.C. transport officials.
