Hundreds of people are expected to join forces in Dundee to voice their opposition to plans aimed at merging Scotland's regiments.
The show of strength comes just two days after ministers confirmed soldiers from the Black Watch would move from Basra to an area closer to Baghdad.
The rally at Camperdown Park on Saturday has been organised by the Save the Scottish Regiments Campaign.
Troops' families and former soldiers will join the demonstration.
Objectors are opposed to plans to merge the Royal Scots and the King's Own Scottish Borderers into a single battalion.
Under the proposals from the Council of Scottish Colonels, it would become part of a single large regiment of five battalions.
