<p><span style="background-color:transparent">A former
US Army officer, who spoke anonymously citing
security concerns, said a UG Solutions recruiter
told him in late October that the company \u201cwas going
to need a lot more guys\u201d for a Gaza operation
expected to begin in early to mid-December. </span></p>
<p><span style="background-color:transparent">The
officer was offered $800 per day for static guard
duty and $1,000 for mobile roles, plus a steady
allowance of $180 per day. </span></p>
<p><span style="background-color:transparent">Days after
his second round of interviews, he was informed that
his application was rejected after UG Solutions said
it had \u201creceived many applications\u201d and that the
