Heavy metal: Army armor, aircraft and artillery to roll and rumble for birthday parade
Heavy metal: Army armor, aircraft and artillery to roll and rumble for birthday parade Show Caption Hide Caption Armored tanks arrive in DC for Trump's military birthday parade As Washington, D.C. prepares for the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army, armored tanks have begun to arrive ahead of Saturday's celebration. WASHINGTON The Army promises a muscular display of armor, attack aircraft and artillery during its 250th anniversary celebration June 14. A vast array of weapons will roll down Constitution Avenue and rumble over the National Mall in front of reviewing stand for President Donald Trump, whose birthday also is Saturday. Army Secretary Dan Driscoll told USA TODAY that it's simply coincidence. Leading Democrats like Sen. Jack Reed of Rhode Island, who leads the Armed Services Committee, calls the parade 'all about' Trump's ego. In any case, the Army plans a serious flex of its might. Here are some of the heavy-metal highlights it plans to roll out: The M1A2/Abrams tank Arguably the most impressive and fearsome weapon in the parade, or pretty much anywhere. At 70 tons, the tank has Washington, DC officials worried that it will chew up its streets simply by moving. The tank entered Army service 45 years ago and first saw combat in Operation Desert Storm in 1991. The Abrams carries a 120mm cannon, robust armor and has a top speed of 45 mph. Bradley Fighting Vehicle Looks like a tank but the Bradley has a smaller gun, missiles and carries soldiers into combat. The Paladin It also looks like a tank – but with a much bigger gun. The Paladin is a self-propelled howitzer artillery weapon that first appeared on battlefields in Vietnam. It has been updated several times over the decades. Strykers Variants of these eight-wheeled, armored vehicles can carry infantry soldiers, mortars, command posts and act as ambulances. Strykers can carry up to 11 soldiers and reach speeds up to 60 miles per hour. Infantry Squad Vehicle This is the Army's latest answer to replace the Humvee. The ISV is based on a commercial truck but tricked out to meet battlefield needs. What it lacks in armor it gains in speed and mobility. The Joint Light Tactical Vehicle The JLTV is brawnier troop carrier than the ISV and was developed with protection from roadside bombs in mind. UH-60 Black Hawk The venerable workhorse helicopter has become a symbol of the Army's wars of the last 30 years. In Somalia, it gained notoriety in the book and film 'Black Hawk Down,' about the 1993 disaster in Somalia that killed 18 soldiers. For nearly 50 years, the Army notes that it has used UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters for missions including air assault, medical evacuation and re-supply operations. A four-member crew and 11-person infantry squad can fit inside a Black Hawk. It can lift a howitzer or a Humvee. Modified Black Hawks carried the SEAL Team that killed Osama bin Laden in Pakistan in 2011. The AH-64 Apache This attack helicopter cuts a menacing silhouette. It destroyed radar installations in Iraq during Desert Storm and provided air cover for convoys and troops on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan. CH-47 Chinook The big heavy-lift helicopter has flown air assault, resupply and medical evacuation missions for more than 60 years. With its twin rotors, the Chinook is still the fastest helicopter in the Army. The High Mobility Artillery Rocket System HIMARS, as it is known, gained its greatest fame in Ukraine where soldiers used its long-range accuracy to smash Russian headquarters thought to be safely behind the frontline. It can fire six guided rockets in quick succession or one or two missiles, depending on ammunition, according to the Army. Some of its missiles have a range of more than 300 miles and can strike a moving ship. Its ability to move quickly after firing makes it an elusive target. M777 M119 M777 lightweight howitzer cannons The M777 is the newest, joining the Army in 2005. It has served a critical role in Ukraine's fight against the Russian invasion. It can loft a 105-pound shell 24 miles.

BNSF and CSX teamed up to haul nearly 100 pieces of military equipment – tanks, armored vehicles, and tactical vehicles – from Fort Cavazos in Texas to Jessup, Md., in support of the Army's 250th birthday parade scheduled for Saturday in Washington, D.C. The 4,611-ton train originated on BNSF and was interchanged with CSX at Birmingham, Ala. From there, CSX handled the train on a 981-mile route through six states. Nine crews operated the train during its 55-hour trip, CSX said. On the point was the CSX Spirit of our Armed Forces ES44AH No. 1776, a tribute to the five branches of the military.
