Almost 1,800 elements from the Mexican Army, Air Force and Navy took part in a parade showcasing regional military might that featured a battery of weaponry, 90 horses, 84 vehicles, ten dogs, eight planes, three helicopters and two boats. More than 10,000 spectators lined the route in the city center to witness the commemoration recalling the day in July 1914 when forces led by General Alvaro Obregon marched triumphantly into Guadalajara following their rout of the federal forces of dictator Victoriano Huerta in the Battle of Orendain.
