The Selective Training and Service Act of 1940, also known as the Burke-Wadsworth Act, 54 Stat. 885 was passed by the Congress of the United States on September 17, 1940,[1] becoming the first peacetime conscription in United States history when President Franklin D. Roosevelt assigned it into law two days later. This Selective Service Act required that men between the ages of 21 and 35 register with local draft boards. Later, when the U.S. entered WW2, all men aged 18 to 45 were made liable for military service, and all men aged 18 to 65 were required to register.
