What is the purpose of the Selective Service System?

To draft for compulsory military service
To manage veteran affairs
To enforce immigration laws
To regulate military funding

The correct answer is: To draft for compulsory military service

The purpose of the Selective Service System is to maintain a registry of individuals eligible for military service and to facilitate the process of drafting civilians into compulsory military service if necessary. In the event that the United States faces a national emergency that requires additional military personnel beyond the volunteer forces, the Selective Service System is responsible for calling individuals to serve. This system ensures that the country can quickly mobilize a trained force when required, reflecting the belief that military preparedness is essential for national security. While the other options relate to important aspects of military and civic life, they do not align with the primary function of the Selective Service System, which is specifically focused on the potential conscription of individuals into military duty.
