FORT BRAGG, N.C. – President Donald Trump is heading to the largest military base in the country on Tuesday to begin festivities celebrating the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary.

During his visit, all units at Fort Bragg are set to carry out a readiness demonstration for the President. The White House has stated that Trump will watch a military exercise at 2:40 p.m. and then make a speech at 4 p.m.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth will join Trump at Fort Bragg as part of the celebration activities. The two will also have the opportunity to engage with soldiers and military families.

The visit is drumming up a lot of excitement. Trump supporters shared that the president’s move to begin the Army’s 250th birthday celebrations at Fort Bragg sends a special message to servicemembers.

Not everyone is excited about Trump’s visit — a protest is planned Saturday at Cross Creek Linear Park in Fayetteville, N.C.

The Army’s milestone anniversary will be celebrated nationwide with major events planned, including a grand parade on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., on June 14, the Army’s official birthday, and coincidentally, Trump’s birthday as well.

Tanks and aircraft will travel to DC for the parade, along with 6,600 soldiers. Hundreds of them will be coming from Fort Bragg, with officials saying that they’re excited to be part of the big day.

Please check back for updates.
