All Regiments have put up their own stalls.

Mrs Shiranthi Rajapaksa, earlier on the day arrived at the Army site, to be received by the Commander of the Army.
Sri Lanka Army, as in previous years, has contributed to the event by erecting more than two dozens of spacious stalls in the compound, considering the mega popularity it would draw in parallel to other sites as evidenced before.
Covering an extent of about 140 acres, the Exhibition will continue until March 29, with its more than 600 stalls, put up by tri-services, state sector agencies, departments, corporations and several semi-government sector organizations.
Sri Lanka Army’s contribution to the event every year adds a thrilling and educative experience as Army exhibitors take extraordinary efforts to explain the visitors about new military hardware and technologies, in some cases, showcasing their physical presentations.
