Incident Description

President Donald Trump announced Sunday that his proposed 250-foot Triumphal Arch at Memorial Circle, adjoining the Arlington Memorial Bridge near Arlington National Cemetery, will be converted into a dual-use military facility.

In a Truth Social post, Trump said that “at the strong request of the United States Military, and for National Security purposes,” he has agreed to turn the structure—originally planned to mark the 250th anniversary of American independence—into a “top grade Military Complex/Triumphal Arch.” It will house, store, and allow the rapid use of large numbers of drones plus snipers on both the roof and plaza areas, along with large quantities of sniper ammunition in storage.
