It looks like President Donald Trump is getting his military parade, but don't expect to see any tanks rolling down the streets of Washington, D.C.

CNN saw a Pentagon memo outlining plans for the demonstration, and apparently it will include "wheeled vehicles only" and no tanks. Officials don't want to do damage to local infrastructure.

The memo said military aircraft will also fly overhead at the end of the parade. 

CNN reports the Joint Staff will plan the parade and Northern Command will execute it.

The parade route will reportedly go from the White House to the Capitol. It's scheduled for Veterans Day.
