The Citadel Parade Tradition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The tradition of parading troops can be traced back to the time of Alexander the Great. Drill procedures and movements on the parade field are identical to the tactical maneuvers employed on the battlefield in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S. military reviews and parades began at Valley Forge. At that time, brigades of soldiers were formed in order of battle. Modern-day ceremonies are conducted to inspect troops, render honors, preserve tradition and foster esprit de corps. At various times throughout the year, The Citadel’s parades are used to present awards and recognize students, faculty, staff and other notable people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Citadel parades are free to attend and open to the public.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
