Secretary Hegseth’s push for military fitness is front and center, with attendees expected to be in peak shape. The event, timed for June 14th on the South Lawn, coincides with President Trump’s 80th birthday and Flag Day, making it a major patriotic spectacle. Even if you’re fit, you’ll foot your own travel bill—and commanders must prioritize junior enlisted members and officers who are true UFC fans. UFC boss Dana White’s pouring in $30 million of his own cash to make it happen, calling it a patriotic gift for America’s 250th anniversary.
