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.
