The event was hosted by Guardian Angel Wildlife and Marine Trust (GAWMT) in partnership with the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) and the South African National Service Institute (SANSI), and combined civic engagement, environmental awareness, and youth development.

Parades, military vehicles, and mounted law enforcement units were on display, offering a rare and symbolic presence in Alexandra. Young people, who were given a break from the daily challenges of living in Alexandra, stood in awe as the military showcased their capabilities in a simulated enemy attack.
