Pentagon asks troops to help at White House UFC events

The Pentagon has circulated internal memos asking military personnel to volunteer at UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) fights scheduled at the White House, according to documents reviewed by The Washington Post.

Troops interested in helping at the events face strict conditions. They must cover their own expenses to attend. The military has not said whether this includes travel, accommodation, or tickets.

Volunteers also need to meet set physical requirements. The Pentagon did not outline what those standards are in the memos reviewed by the news outlet.

The recruitment effort signals the military's involvement in organising or supporting the UFC events at the White House. It remains unclear how many personnel the Pentagon hopes to recruit or what specific roles volunteers would fill.

Internal military messages typically circulate among staff to notify them of opportunities or requirements. This one asks interested troops to step forward, though participation appears to be optional.
