The act that drafted men into the military in the United States is known as the Selective Service Act. Originally passed in 1917 during World War I, it established a system for conscription in times of national emergency. Subsequent versions of the act were enacted during World War II and the Vietnam War. The Selective Service System continues to exist today, requiring male citizens to register at age 18.
A properly drafted man with no prior military service was taken into the United States Army as a Private. and sent one of many Basic Training Camps i.e. Fort Dix, New Jersey where he was to complete 8 weeks of Basic Military Training before being given an MOS for which he would receive additional training at the same or another Military Base. A drafted man during Viernan was expected to complete 2 years of active service from the time he took his oath. He was never considered an enlisted man as enlisted men signed up for service and usually for a specific field of duty and depending on that field of duty, they were expected to spend at least 3 years of active service in the army. Once you're in the military, you are either "enlisted" or "officer" for pay purposes. Almost all draftees become enlisted, but a few professionals (primarily doctors and lawyers) may be drafted and sent to Officer Candidate School instead of Recruit Training Camp.
