* United States Army
* United States Marine Corps
* United States Navy
* United States Air Force
* United States Coast Guard
Approximately 1.8 million personnel are currently on active duty in the military with an additional 860,000 personnel in the seven reserve components (456,000 of which are in the Army and Air National Guard). There is currently no conscription. The armed forces are also members of the Uniformed services of the United States. The United States Military is considered the most powerful military in the world because their power projection capabilities are maintained significantly higher than any singular nation (e.g. France, United Kingdom, People's Republic of China, Russia, India) or organization (e.g. the European Union). The United States Department of Defense is the controlling organization for the U.S. military and is headquartered at The Pentagon. The Commander-in-Chief of the U.S. military is the President of the United States. With a strength of 2.26 million personnel (including reserves), the United States armed forces are the 2nd largest in the world.

How many people were drafted for Vietnam War?
Approximately 3,403,000 servicemen served thru-out Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War. Of those men, approximately 2,594,000 served "In Country" (Vietnam itself). If you want too, add to this figure the number of US military personnel (Army, Air Force, Marines, and the Coast Guard) stationed in the US, Europe, and South Korea (a portion of those servicemen were drafted also). Total them up. Then total up the TOTAL number of "Today's ALL-VOLUNTEER military", which should give you a general number for volunteers. Now, grant it, today's military (Army, Navy, Marines, etc.) is smaller than the cold war days, so it won't be a 100% answer...however it will give you an idea. To continue: Subtract the "Today's total number of All-volunteer military personnel" FROM the total number of Servicemen world wide during the Vietnam days. The difference will give you the estimated number of draftees (conscripts). (adjusted to the size of today's military, verses the cold war size military back then).
