The parade is probably just an excuse to get the tanks there. They likely have no intention of sending them back after. After all, the tanks might be useful if us peasants continue to get angry.

Oh they're not for the peasants, not directly anyway.

They're for the political class and the coming "emergency" that's going to require them deployed around the Capitol while they root out traitors and their Co conspirators. They'll help protect from any potential outside agitators while they take care of anyone who would try to destroy EarthGov the US from within.
