The US Coast Guard will close parts of the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers for a military celebration

The US Coast Guard will create a temporary security zone on parts of the Potomac River and Anacostia River in Washington, DC. This means boats cannot enter or stay in these areas without special permission during the Army's 250th Anniversary celebration.

This is a routine security measure for a public event. It temporarily restricts access to waterways to protect officials and the public. It does not change any permanent rules for river access or security protocols.
