The armed forces will showcase 11 standing formations and 27 marching formations, united under the leadership of 7,413 officers and soldiers—each marching formation featuring 10 rows with a mighty 160 personnel! 💪💃
Major General Vũ Việt Hùng, director of the Department of Military Training and School Management and deputy head of the Parade Subcommittee, is overseeing the entire event. He's particularly excited about this first joint rehearsal, which brings together all military formations under the Ministry of National Defence. The primary goal? To learn, refine, and prepare for future rehearsals and the grand finale parade! 🌟🎯
