The United States periodically institutes a draft when the government has declared war and the number of volunteers is insufficient to accomplish its war goals. The US had fought several wars without enacting a draft at all, such as the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. The most recent war during which conscription was used was the Vietnam War. All men are required to register for the draft at age 18, in case war is declared in the future.
