The parade deck at Marine Barracks Washington, D.C., photographed March 25, 2025. The parade deck is the centerpiece of Marine Barracks Washington, hosting Evening Parades since 1957. The 280-foot-long deck serves as the stage for precision drill performances, promotions, and ceremonies that reflect Marine Corps discipline and professionalism. It features The Silent Drill Platoon, "The Commandant’s Own" Drum & Bugle Corps, and "The President’s Own" Marine Band, with historic buildings framing the site. The deck remains a symbol of excellence, preserving the Corps’ traditions of military precision and ceremony. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Christopher Prelle)
