On June 14, 2026, the U.S. Army will mark a significant milestone – the 251st anniversary of the establishment of our service. This year, the Army’s commemoration of its birthday is nested within the larger national celebration of America’s semi-quincentennial, providing a unique opportunity to highlight the Army’s role in the nation’s founding, growth and defense. Plus Army Birthday Week events.
