The June 8, 1991 National Victory Celebration in Washington, D.C.—the Gulf War victory parade—featured 8,000 active-duty U.S. troops, along with tanks, Patriot missiles, aircraft, and even a group of Vietnam veterans .
The parade was spearheaded by General H. Norman Schwarzkopf Jr., commander of the Desert Storm forces. He led the march and was later joined by President George H.W. Bush on the reviewing stand . There is no mention in credible accounts of military academy cadets or Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) cadets participating in the march.
So to answer your question: the parade was composed of active-duty military personnel (and some Vietnam-era veterans), not cadets.
