Army Day is celebrated every year on January 15 to honour the soldiers of the country, who have set the greatest example of selfless service and brotherhood and more than anything the love for the country. In celebration of Army Day, the parade is organised every year at the Cariappa Parade Ground of Delhi Cantonment. 

On January 15, 1949, Field Marshal Kodandera M Cariappa, who was then a Lieutenant General, took over as the first Indian Commander-in-Chief of the Indian Army from General Sir Francis Butcher, the last British person to hold that post.
