parade

A military parade is an event in which soldiers gather and march. It is used to promote the military and show off military power.

The division of the army or holding a military parade or triumphal ceremony in front of the monarch has a long history, but as a modern national event, the modern military parade was held in Prussia around the 18th century with a unique goose step . Since then, countries around the world trying to form modern nation-states and national armies have introduced and held them along with fleet review ceremonies and exhibitions to show off their national power and increase pride and status in their military .

In these countries, not everyone can participate in military parades, but honor guards are selected based on their appearance, and equipment is provided to those who are good (at least in appearance).[1] For these countries, military parades have the character of a show of force where the military protects the people well from external threats and shows off their military power externally through war deterrence.

In Korea, there is a strong tendency to regard military parades as a symbol of 'dictatorship', and not holding military parades is considered a symbol of democracy and a virtue. This is largely due to the long military dictatorship that occurred due to a rebellion that broke out just when it seemed like the war had passed and stability had finally arrived . Since military dictators have continuously used military parades as a means of militarization , the perception of military parades is bound to be particularly negative, regardless of the cause of Armed Forces Day .

Britain and France have a strong culture of holding grand military parades every year and wanting many soldiers to participate.

In fact, in the United States, which has the strongest military, there is a strong tendency to regard military parades as 'unnecessary'. A representative example is the United States , where Donald Trump , impressed by the military parade in France , ordered a similar military parade to be held in his country, but the military parade was canceled due to the passive response of the U.S. military and the mayor of Washington DC 's refusal due to budget issues. Of course, the U.S. military does not do this at all, and even on a small scale, it often holds military parades and street parades on a regular basis for various anniversaries. Something like the US military’s version of Armed Forces Day . Considering that there was a huge victory parade during World War II and the Gulf War, the fact that the 21st century US military failed to achieve 'victory' in Afghanistan and Iraq is a bigger reason why it cannot hold a military parade.

In this way, every country has a clear justification and allows people to reside there when necessary. It was a time when the government decided that it was time to clearly raise the security awareness of the people due to changes in the international situation. The most recent example is Poland , which immediately purchased large quantities of Korean -made weapons after Russia invaded Ukraine and then sent them to a huge military parade . In addition, military parades held on historically significant days, such as the Victory Day commemorative parade, are held on a large scale, and in these cases, troops from friendly countries are called in to join them. Bastille Day in France in 1994[2] An example is the event where the French and German troops held a military parade together .

Since it is a place to show off one's own military power, the troops participating in the event are, of course, held by their own troops, but in special cases, military units from other countries are invited and held together. For example, inviting troops from allied countries during the Victory Day event, or holding a military parade together according to agreement on a very meaningful day in the relationship between the two countries. Examples of this include the invitation of German Bundeswehr units to the 1994 French Revolution anniversary celebrations, and the invitation of US, British, French, and Polish troops to Russia's Victory Day celebrations.

As mentioned earlier, due to the nature of showing off the country's military power, various military equipment and personnel from the country appear in large numbers, so it is also a good opportunity to gauge the military power and political situation of the country. This is an even more important opportunity in a closed country like North Korea. During the Cold War, so-called ' Kremlinology' existed to study the internal political situation of the Soviet Union and the deployment of Soviet military equipment through military parades held in Moscow, Soviet Union on May 1st (May 1st, Victory Day in the German-Soviet War, May 9th, Victory Day in the German-Soviet War, and October Revolution Day).[3]

Similar events include the naval version of a fleet review , and air shows led by the Air Force are also considered parades. Large-scale parades also include flyovers of aircraft .

As a side note, for the soldiers preparing for this, it is so difficult that they get fever.[4] and [yeolpyeong] respectively .] There are even people who faint while doing this. As a result, soldiers preparing for military parades all over the world are dying. Summer is especially difficult, to the point where people die.

In socialist or monarchical countries, fire trucks and ambulances are sometimes mobilized for military parades.

Surprisingly, it is not soldiers but military academy cadets who lead the military parade on Armed Forces Day . High-ranking general-level commanders are under the command of regimental cadets at each military academy, who are far, far away juniors who are invisible to the eye . This is a military parade to instill dreams and hopes for the future in young cadets who will become future generals. Nevertheless, the evaluation of the cadets is not good. After being mobilized for three weeks and going through all the hardships, the academic schedule has been disrupted and even parents are protesting against it. #



In the past, the military parade held at Yeouido Square in Korea in the 1970s and 1980s was very large in scale, and unlike the relaxed atmosphere of modern times, it tended to show off discipline and a warrior-like aspect.[5] Although it is one of the few opportunities for the general public to see various weapons up close, there are some who dislike it, considering it a remnant of the military regime. # # In fact, during the military regime, military parades were held on a grand and large scale, but after democratization, military parades have changed and are now held in a simpler manner compared to the past.



The video was held in 2013 for the 65th anniversary. It was quite large with almost one division of more than 11,000 people. Of course, it is not so much compared to other countries where tens of thousands to 100 people are mobilized. In addition, many Koreans are not interested in the parade, so there are not many civilians who see it. The Armed Forces Day Ceremony was held every year from 1956 to 1978, but was held every three years from 79 to 90 years.[6] There is a reason why the fever is not a practical or practical event, and the Yeouido Square , which was a dedicated place for cogged food, was changed to Yeouido Park in 1997, and it was necessary to have a fever on the general road in Seoul.

Unlike Dong -gu, which is concerned about the operation, it focuses more on hand gestures. The angle of the army is very high at 130 degrees and one two and three slogans are attached to the march. ROK troops are loose compared to other cogged troops such as China and Russia because of the size and steps. At the 2013 fever ceremony, the poet's marching soldiers showed an unprecedented look at the civilians who watched the civilians with a friendly smile and waved their hands. According to officials, there was an instructions recommended at the top, not sudden action.

Strictly speaking, it is not until the level of fever. It is often held in the form of a city march.

It was omitted on Armed Forces Day in 2018. First of all, the reason officially stated was to ease the hardships of the soldiers and to be more approachable to the civilian population, but the actual reason was probably because practice was virtually impossible due to the heat wave that summer. For the Armed Forces Day military parade, it would take 3 to 4 months even if there was no practice period, but Armed Forces Day is October 1st. In other words, we need to conduct military parade practice directly through the record-breaking heat wave of the summer of 2018 . It was quite an exceptional case in that it was omitted even though it was the 70th anniversary of the founding of the army, so it was a good year to hold a military parade, and since inter-Korean relations were at a delicate time, opposition party members criticized it as 'looking at North Korea.' And in response to this, the government came up with a slightly contradictory statement, “America does not have parades,” which caused controversy. Of course, during the actual event, it was close to the division of the Taekwondo Demonstration Team, B-Boy, and the Warrior Platform Demonstration Team, and because it was a night event, there were many people who had different meanings.



Today's fever atmosphere

The street parade was revived on Armed Forces Day in 2023. It is said that a new deterrent weapon against North Korea will also be revealed. #

It is mainly held on Armed Forces Day . According to a 2023 public opinion poll conducted by the Korea Institute for Defense Analyzes, the general public, military service members, and civilian employees were all largely in favor of the city event. #

The Armed Forces Day was held on September 26 due to the Chuseok holiday. # For details, see the 75th Anniversary Armed Forces Day commemorative event .

However, by holding another military parade the following year in 2024 , budget waste and wartime administration issues were pointed out, and as the government was kicked out after causing a huge controversy over military-related issues, the next government's Armed Forces Day commemoration ceremony omitted the street parade held in downtown Seoul for the past two consecutive years, and the number of participating troops was simplified to about one-fifth of last year's.

The Chinese People's Liberation Army is famous for its strict military parades. For one military parade, a strict selection process is carried out, including the family relationships of the soldiers participating in the military parade. They are eliminated even if their faces are ugly, they are eliminated if their faces are old, they are eliminated if their height is too tall or short, they are eliminated if they are obese, they are eliminated even if there is a criminal in the family, and in the case of female soldiers , they are eliminated even if their height is 170-173 cm and their chest size is not around 90 cm or the chest line does not match, etc., so it is difficult to pass the Korean Armed Forces. More difficult than an officer . Although Chinese people are shorter on average than Westerners or Koreans, their population is large, so it is possible to select many tall people. It is said that they mainly take North Korean people who are tall.[7] The female soldiers selected in this way undergo rigorous training under the guidance of the female company commander in charge of the female soldiers .

The number of people who are selected only practiced walking for several months. # Even if this practice is so severe, you can see a picture of a hole on the floor of the fire and the bleeding of the soles of the soles. In particular, it is said that satellites and laser equipment are used to meet the procession at the time of the fever.

Unlike the North Korean army , China spends a huge amount of money on military parades and carefully selects the personnel participating in the military parades, so the Chinese People's Liberation Army 's military parades are famous around the world for being neat and clean by changing the conquest to be similar to the military conquest of Western countries and making every effort to ensure uniformity of personnel. A huge amount of money and manpower were also spent on the military parade commemorating the 70th anniversary of Victory Day in 2015 . On the day of the military parade , all operations at over 10,000 nearby factories were halted for a week to ensure clear skies . The sight of hundreds of people armed with guns taking a stabbing stance in sync with slogans and movements at the same time makes you think they are all robots. In stark contrast to the Russian army 's colorful expressions at the military parade, the Chinese army gives the impression that they are nothing more than machines.

On August 1, 2017, the 90th anniversary of the founding of the army, a large-scale review was held at the Jurhe Training Ground in Inner Mongolia , rather than Beijing , where military parades had been held. Since holding a large-scale military parade in the city can cause various inconveniences, we plan to hold it here for lower-level anniversaries, not national anniversaries such as Victory Day or National Day.

On October 1, 2019, the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, a huge military parade that surpassed previous military parades was held at Tiananmen Square.


As of January 2022, when the Chinese military listing was reflected, all theater commanders , except for Wang Haijiang , commander of the western theater, have participated in the military parade and led troops.

A military parade commemorating the 80th anniversary will be held on September 3, 2025 . As it is the 80th anniversary , leaders of 26 countries, including Kim Jong-un and Vladimir Putin , are scheduled to attend. #

On the King's official birthday anniversary, it is a large ceremony called a military division ceremony , and it is often held on a small scale as a bonus for events such as troop redeployment or the opening of parliament.

Queen Elizabeth II inspected the Royal Guard on horseback until 1986, while Charles III inspected the Royal Guard on horseback only in 2023 after ascending to the throne.

7.14 Military parade commemorating the assault on the Bastille prison
(Common name: 7.14 / 14 Juillet)

There are some Western countries that do not put much effort into military parades (compared to Asian and Eastern European countries), but they are relatively large. A large-scale military parade is usually held on the Champs-Élysées on July 14th , Bastille Day . France is a traditional European military powerhouse and has a history of being at risk in various wars, so it is very proud of its past overcoming crises. There is also the Arc de Triomphe, so it is perfect for a military parade. Civilian institutions/organizations ( French National Police , etc.) such as the Paris Fire Brigade (La brigade de sapeurs-pompiers de Paris, BSPP), which originated from the French military, and Ecole Polytechnique (third photo) also participate.

Although it is called a military parade, many civilians also participate as militia members in accordance with the revolutionary spirit. This is also seen in the former communist bloc. Among historical Western countries, France actually has the most active civil military culture, such as military parades, and the tradition of showing off the authority of the political system through military culture and promoting the superiority of the country's political system to civilians was originally created during the French Revolution . This is because it is a culture that was later exported to Russian revolutionaries .

There was a case in which German Bundeswehr units attended the parade during the 1994 Revolution Day event . In the news video at the time, French President François Mitterrand pushed for it, and it is an event that symbolizes that France and Germany have completely shaken off their historical sentiments. If you look closely at the video, you can see that German soldiers in armored vehicles have been in a fixed saluting posture even before the parade begins, and French citizens on both sides of the road are leisurely watching the German soldiers. In 2019, German soldiers and joint Franco-German units also attended.


During the 2018 Revolution Day event, the Japanese Self-Defense Forces were invited to commemorate the 160th anniversary of diplomatic relations. However, at the event on this day, French army motorcycles collided as they were unable to avoid each other while performing, and the Air Force flight team tried to represent the French flag in blue, white and red over Paris, but the plane, which was supposed to emit blue smoke, came out with red. A major accident occurred.[8]

Angela Merkel at the 2019 Revolution Day celebrations Chancellor of Germany , Mark Ruther Prime Minister of the Netherlands , Marcelo Rebelo de Souza, President of Portugal , Charles Michel Prime Minister of Belgium David Liddington Head of the Office for Government Policy Coordination[9] Heads of state and state affairs leaders from Western Europe visited.

The United States does not often have a large -scale fever. Some people know that they don't do it at all, but it's not that much. In 1946, the Victory Parade President's Inauguration, Independence Day , Veteran Day, etc., which are held in New York City . In some cases, they may invite veterans or invite foreign chairman. The Memorial Day fever ceremony is over an hour and a half of the basic march. In some cases, there are cases where there are no US cars , trucks, and armored vehicles. However, compared to countries such as France, Russia, China, and North Korea, it is a shabby scale, and it rarely mobilizes tanks or floats fighters. The atmosphere is a little different from other countries, so you may invite a singer to sing or send a cheerleader.

Of course, it is held when a major war is won, such as the 1946 victory parade. After losing face in the Vietnam War, they even took out tanks and proudly paraded during the victory in the Gulf War, but it was the last victory parade of the 20th century, and the wars of the 21st century are all ruined, prolonged, unpopular, and eventually withdrawn after humiliation, so there is no situation to hold a big parade.

In particular, the fact that the U.S. military is clearly the world's strongest military after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, capable of showing off the majesty of its military power only with invincible weapons that only the U.S. can operate, such as the F-22, F-35, B-2, and Gerald R. Ford class aircraft carrier, is also one of the reasons why the U.S. military does not hold military parades on a large scale. This is because the United States, which can show off its military power with the mere presence of the F-22 , F-35 , B-2 , and aircraft carrier strike group , does not need to bother holding a large-scale military parade . In fact, a Pentagon spokesperson openly stated, "The US military is the world's foremost military so that people have no doubt about it , " and " We don't need to display it at parades . " Here, he also made a remark that seemed to diss China's large-scale military parade in 2015 . Military parades are not our style...

Therefore, when you see the march of US military units at events attended by military forces from various countries, it does not show as much force as expected and rather feels a bit sloppy.[10] . However, B-2 is often seen at pre-event events for various sports games such as NFL and MLB . As can be seen from the scale of participation in flyover events, air shows , and RIMPAC , the U.S. military also consistently carries out performances to show off its national power and military power. The B-2's flyover alone becomes, from the perspective of all other countries, a display of weapons more extravagant, more expensive, and more terrifying than any military parade, just for the sake of a sporting event. It's just that they don't hold military parades to show off their troops like other countries.

The US troops' caught and wonderful appearances can be seen at the clan's work shifts that keep the chairman's or Alington National Cemetery .[11]

As a joke, there is a saying that the military parade of the US military directly shows the enemy .


On the other hand, events unrelated to the military parade sometimes show organizational power and scale greater than that of the military parade. The video above shows members of the Texas A&M University school district celebrating Thanksgiving. This is a video of a march to the stadium for a college football game.

President Donald Trump is said to have ordered preparations for a large-scale military parade in 2018. # First, as a rehearsal, on July 4th, Independence Day, an event was held to display military equipment, including the M1A2 tank, at the National Mall in the center of Washington, D.C., and when the response from citizens was not bad, they planned to hold a formal military parade. The date was scheduled for November 11, the 100th anniversary of the start of World War I and American Veterans Day. However, the mayor of Washington, D.C., which was scheduled to host the military parade, argued that it would cost a huge amount of money, so President Trump decided to cancel the military parade.

The video is of the parade celebrating the Independence Day of the Republic of Belarus on July 3, 2024.

In the case of Belarus, like other republics that formed the Soviet Union, the Victory Day military parade is held every year on May 9, but separately, July 3, the day the Belarusian Soviet Socialist Republic was liberated from Nazi Germany, was established as Independence Day, and a commemorative military parade is held every year on July 3 as well.



On May 9, 2025, it is the 80th anniversary of the Anniversary of the Contrast War. The fever ceremony was held by President Lukasenka Belarus, where the president of the Russian Federal Moscow attended the Collection of the Russian Federation. For reference, the time zones of Russia Moscow and Belarus Minsk are the same.

The feature of the Calculation of the Belarus Republic is that the chairman of the guards after the parade march, and then decorated with the march of Belarus' industries and culture, or the men's and ordinary women wearing Soviet military uniforms at the Ceremony of the Contrast War.

Until the 1980s, a large-scale military parade was held every year at Dübendorf Airfield, mobilizing tanks, vehicles, and even aircraft. However, since the 1990s, instead of holding a large-scale military parade, a small-scale parade featuring historical equipment of the Swiss army has been held.

Dutch military fever. The middle character is King Bilum Alexander . From 5 minutes and 3 seconds, the country of Nasa, the country, comes out.


full version. In Western Europe, it is famous for being as colorful as France and England.

The K-2 Black Panther , K-9 self-propelled howitzer , and FA-50 appeared for the first time at the military parade in mid-August 2023 . # This is the military parade marking the 103rd anniversary of the Battle of Warsaw (1920) .

A German media outlet said that scenes featuring the K-2 Black Panther , K-9 self-propelled howitzer , and FA-50 were omitted from the report video. # The scene where Leopard 2 appears is long, and M1 Abrams appears briefly. #

In mid-August 2024, the K-2 Black Panther , K-9 self-propelled howitzer , FA-50 , etc. appeared in the parade just like last year. And just like last year, if any German media reports this time, it is expected that the scenes where the K-2 Black Panther , K-9 self-propelled howitzer , FA-50, etc. appear will be omitted from the video.

It is a military parade in which military enthusiasts show considerable interest. This is because it is a rare military parade that combines Western-made equipment, Eastern Bloc equipment, and Korean-made equipment. However, as the German-made Leopard 2 and former Soviet-made equipment are scheduled to be retired, it is unclear how long we will be able to see scenes like this.

Italian army parade.


The video is part of the catering ceremony at the anniversary of the Italian Republic on June 2, 2016. The troops that appear from 31 minutes 25 seconds are the Bersaglieri troops, famous for the elite of Italian troops. They maintain their traditions during the war disease, and they always run as a former combatant as well as military bands .

In other words, it is a country that holds an amazing parade. It shows a parade that is so acrobatic that it would make any circus troupe look like a circus. It doesn't cost much, but it takes a lot of human effort. It shows an acrobatic parade that is almost like a bizarre show.

The camel unit is quite unique, but the military parade using motorcycles is especially famous. Among them , the most famous sight is the sight of soldiers entangled on several motorcycles and marching with the motorcycles linked together as soldiers . In this case, if any one of two or more motorcycles has a different speed, it is a very dangerous parade that leads directly to a traffic accident .

This unit of the Indian Army is a motorcycle stunt team called the Dare Devils, part of the Border Security Force (BSF), a border security unit. Motorcycles are important equipment for the BSF due to the rugged nature of India 's border areas, and this led to the creation of this motorcycle stunt team. It can be seen as a similar concept to the Air Force's aerobatic team .[13]

This motorcycle art originated in England. The British original unit was called the Royal Signals Motorcycle Display Team, commonly known as the White helmet, which was founded in 1927 and disbanded in 2017. When communication lines were cut off due to artillery fire on the battlefield or wired/wireless communication was impossible due to wiretapping or poor communication, the transmission had to be delivered on a motorcycle on a dangerous road.

The Japan Self- Defense Forces also hold a military parade. However, the Japan Navy's fleet review ceremony is better known. Every year on November 1st[14] It is called “Self-Defense Forces Memorial Day” and is celebrated by each military unit sequentially every year. The general public is also given the opportunity to view the event through open application. A winning postcard will be sent directly to the winner, and if you bring this postcard with you, you will be able to exchange up to two tickets on site.

Since it is not a military unit, there are no street parades.[15]

On July 30, 2025, the Ministry of Defense decided not to hold a fleet review or military parade in the future due to the complex nature of the security environment. Unit opening events on a smaller scale will continue. #

If you are in a hurry, watch from the 56th minute.

As much as Turkey has a huge military scale comparable to that in the Middle East and Eurasia, the military parade is also a force. There are also old traditions from the Ottoman Empire . The modern Turkish Army has been greatly influenced by the French and German armies , and the parade is similar. On August 30th, 'Victory Day' (Zafer Bayramı), where a great victory was won against the Greek army at Dumlupnar during the Turkish War of Independence, and on October 29th, the anniversary of the establishment of the Republic (Cumhuriyet Bayramı) , a large-scale military parade is held in Ankara . It is said that since 2002, when the Justice and Development Party, an Islamic party, took power, the ideology of secularism has been fading, but this day is the day when Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the national father of the Republic of Turkey , becomes the main character. Of course, it is also the festival of secularists.

This is a joint military parade between the Azerbaijani Army and the Turkic Army held to commemorate the victory in the 2020 Armenia-Azerbaijan War . The song playing is ‘ Ceddin Deden ’, a military song from the Ottoman Empire .

Honor guard demonstration starts at 1 hour 5 minutes

There was a time when the surrealistic design movement became a hot topic on the Internet. (From 1 hour 8 minutes 40 seconds)

It is said that this was done during the Mongolian People's Republic .

After democratization, this

It is a country just below Russia . Among East Asian countries, it is one of the countries that adopted communist technology very early, so not only the rituals but also the Russian military parade are incorporated throughout. Even after democratization, the same rituals and military parades are used as in Russia without much difference.

Since it is a dictatorship, we work hard here too. The national anthem of independence, neutrality and Turkmenistan starts at 13:03.

As it is a member of the former Soviet Union, a military parade is held in Kiiu on August 24 every year (even in years when it is not held) even after independence . August 24 is the day Ukraine gained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. Since 2014, when the Crimea and Donbas crises escalated, high-level officials from Georgia and NATO have been invited.

It is a very unique military parade, and only the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps separates by singing military songs and matching their steps according to the beat of military songs.

Thanks to that, walking at a slow pace takes a lot of time.

It is a military parade of the National Revolutionary Army during the Sino-Japanese War in 1942 .


Until 1991, the Republic of China also held a grand military parade on a scale comparable to that of mainland China.[16] The video above is the 80th anniversary of the Double Tenth Day military parade in 1991 . Even before the creation of national wealth, the Republic of China adopted the goose step.[17]

It was held almost every year on the Double Twelfth Day since the birth of the nation , but was discontinued until 1974 due to a disaster in which two F-104 fighter jets collided mid-air during a military parade in 1964. Since then, it has been held in the year of inauguration of new presidents ( Yan Jia-gan , Jiang Ching-guo , and Lee Teng-hui ). It was mainly held on the 70th/80th anniversary of the Double Tenth Festival.

In the 21st century, Taiwan no longer holds large-scale military parades like before. Although there was pressure from mainland China, the most decisive factor was the change of government from the Chinese National Party to the Democratic Progressive Party . In particular, in the 1980s and 2000s, Democratic Progressive Party figures viewed the military parade as a legacy of authoritarianism from the Kuomintang dictatorship and viewed it negatively, so they campaigned against the military parade.

Although their military power is weak, they probably feel like they want to do a good military parade, but the military parade is held at a high level.

First of all, the goose step is basic, and there are also stunts in which the legs are suddenly lifted high and then lowered, and the cadets at the head of the military academy march with an eagle in their hands. (From the 24th minute)[18]

Like the military parade during the Ahmad Hassan al-Bakr regime and the Republic of Korea, more emphasis is placed on hand movements rather than foot movements. What is unique is that some units hold military parades. This part reminds me of the Italian influence.



It's a military parade during the Saddam Hussein regime, and it looks very dry and as if someone has taken a lot of medicine . It is an incomprehensible sight of a military parade where legless disabled soldiers are put on wheelchairs without any assistive devices, soldiers are trampling on floors printed with US dollars in rows as they march, and when Hussein fires a gun, cheers erupt from all over.


This is the military parade held after the suppression of Daesh.

The Thai military uses the goose step as a ceremony, and it shows a lot of stiff appearance, probably because it is a monarchy.

Because it was before the Libyan civil war, there was decent military equipment and manpower.

A unique feature of the military parade is that it is held exclusively for the Royal Guard units. This part reminds me of the Italian influence.

The Taliban itself is an irregular armed group, but it can be seen that it has established its own military uniform after seizing power following the Taliban offensive in Afghanistan in 2021 .

The characteristic is that the ritual is quite fast, and the walking style that seems to hit the ground is excellent. However, not all Taliban use that style, and there are cases where they use the Soviet style that was used in the past.

The video is a military parade commemorating the 60th anniversary of independence held in 2021. Be careful because the sound quality of the video is not good.

There are no major differences other than the fact that the ceremony involves the sound of military boots, but as is typical of an Arab country, the military band's performance is not very good.

Like Korea, it focuses more on hand gestures rather than triggering. As a unique point, he marches while walking very slowly while singing the military for some special forces.[19]

The video of the military parade commemorates the 70th anniversary of the victory in the Battle of Dien Bien Phu .

As a communist country, the Vietnamese military 's uniform is similar to that of the Chinese People's Liberation Army overall , but unlike the Chinese military's uniform, which emphasizes the angle of the sword, the goose step angle is slightly higher and, like Russia, it is characterized by marching with the head held high.
