In December 2007, the Selective Service System announce that it plans to conduct a comprehensive test of the draft system sometime in 2009.

The draft for the Iraq mission is not needing to be put in use.

What were the draft numbers for 1965?

The draft numbers for 1965 were part of the U.S. military draft system established during the Vietnam War era. In that year, the Selective Service System assigned lottery numbers based on birthdates, with the first draft lottery held on December 1, 1969, for men born in 1944 to 1950. However, in 1965 specifically, the draft was still based on classifications rather than a lottery system, and the numbers were assigned to registrants based on their age and deferments. The draft continued to evolve throughout the Vietnam War, impacting many young men in the U.S. during that time.
