Thousands of soldiers have descended upon Washington, D.C., from more than a dozen Army divisions across the force, and many of them have meticulously prepared their machines to roll down Constitution Avenue.

The Army is bringing 28 Abrams tanks to Saturday's parade, each valued at approximately $5 million. Accompanying them will be 28 Bradley fighting vehicles worth $4.5 million each, 28 Stryker infantry carriers and six M109 A7 Paladin self-propelled howitzers.

Tanks and thousands of troops are on the streets of Washington, D.C., for the Army's 250th anniversary on President Donald Trump's birthday.

The M1 Abrams tank, weighing over 60,000 tons, isn't exactly easy to move around, but there is one cargo plane in America's arsenal that makes it seem simple.

The Army deleted a video from its social media that showed a tank en route to the June 14 parade on a train car spray-painted with the death threat.
