Precedence and proximity to Washington D.C. could prevent Utah-based service members, especially reservists, from participating in President Donald Trump’s proposed military parade — although the Pentagon says all options are on the table.
The logistics of such a parade — which White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders characterized in the Wednesday media briefing as “literally in a brain storming” phase — are unclear.
But Utah National Guard spokesman Lt. Col. Steve Fairbourn told The Salt Lake Tribune that same day that such a procession would likely include active duty troops or reservists closer to the parade site.
