In August 1945, the general uprising achieved victory across the country in 15 days, leading to Vietnam's independence after nearly 100 years under French colonial and Japanese fascist rule. On 2/9, at Ba Dinh Square, President Ho Chi Minh read the Declaration of Independence before hundreds of thousands of people, proclaiming to the nation and the world the birth of the independent and free Democratic Republic of Vietnam.
Preparations are underway for the parade commemorating the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day on 2/9. Six groups are expected to participate: The traditional torch procession and honor guard; the artillery salute; the air force flyover; the parade and march; the background formation; and the formation and lettering group.
The parade and march will include four ceremonial blocks; 43 blocks representing the armed forces (26 army blocks, 17 police blocks), including a foreign military block; military artillery vehicles and special police vehicles; a naval parade; 12 civilian parade blocks; and a cultural and sports village block.
The background formation will consist of the platform honor guard, 11 army blocks, and seven police blocks.
