Defense Minister Beit Higseth stands next to the president, where more than 6000 soldiers are running near the National Commercial Center.
Flash and thunderstorm floods are expected to expect in the capital later, but Trump has pledged that the weather will not stop the celebrations.
Trump wrote in the capital: “Our great military procession is on rain or rain. Social truth previously.
The show will tell the story of the army, starting with the Battle of Lexington – the first battle of the revolutionary war – and moves throughout the day.
Each conflict will have 150 soldiers in a period of time, followed by a portion of hundreds of forces in the clothing of the modern era. The army spokesman Steve Warren said that over the past few weeks, the army planners have been working on how to get the timing of this to exactly 90 minutes.
