During an exclusive preview event, the Army Recognition editorial team covered the full-dress rehearsal of Belgium’s upcoming National Day military parade in Brussels. This behind-the-scenes access gave a rare look at the Belgian Armed Forces’ latest combat vehicles and highlighted their preparedness to present both ceremonial discipline and operational capabilities. More than just a pageantry rehearsal, the event reflected Belgium’s commitment to showcasing military readiness and technological advancement to the public and international observers alike.
A key highlight of the upcoming parade is the debut of the Belgian-assembled Griffon 6×6 armored vehicle, which will be officially introduced during the celebrations. This milestone marks an important step in Belgium’s broader modernization effort and reflects the country’s increasing emphasis on indigenous defense production. As the Griffon enters active service, it also represents the Belgian Army’s alignment with multinational defense standards, reinforcing interoperability within European defense frameworks.
