Selective Service Act
In the United States, it is required for most male citizens and immigrant residents aged 18 to 25 to register for Selective Service. This registration is used to maintain a database for potential military conscription in the event of a national emergency. Failure to register can result in penalties, including ineligibility for federal student aid, job training, and federal employment. Women are currently not required to register, although there have been discussions about changing this policy.
The act that required men between the ages of twenty-one and thirty to register for a draft was the Selective Service Act of 1917. This legislation was enacted in response to the United States' entry into World War I, aiming to build up military forces. It mandated registration for military service and established a system for conscription. The act was significant in shaping the U.S. military during the war.
Males ages 18-26 are required to register with the Selective Service in the United States to ensure that the government has a list of potential military conscripts in the event of a national emergency or draft. This registration helps maintain an up-to-date database of eligible individuals who could be called upon to serve in the armed forces if necessary. It is a legal obligation, and failure to register can result in penalties such as fines or ineligibility for certain federal benefits.
