The Selective Service System is a key component of U.S. national defense, established in 1940 and rooted in its 1917 formation during World War I. After the Vietnam War, it was in standby until 1980 when registration was reinstated. Today, it supports the all-volunteer military and is ready to assist in national emergencies. Registration is mandatory for males aged 18-25, with significant consequences for non-compliance. The agency is committed to readiness, modernization, and supporting national defense efforts.
