What is a military ball?

A military ball is a formal event held by military branches such as the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines to celebrate their members and their accomplishments. It is a time-honored tradition that typically involves a formal dinner, dancing, and various ceremonies. Military balls also provide an opportunity for service members to socialize with each other and their families in a formal setting. Dress codes for military balls are strict and typically require men to wear a dress uniform and women to wear formal gowns. The event may also involve speeches by senior officers, presentation of awards, and performances by military bands.
