From 1948 until 1973, during both peacetime and periods of conflict, men were drafted to fill vacancies in the armed forces which could not be filled through voluntary means. In 1973, the draft ended and the U.S. converted to an All-Volunteer military. The registration requirement was suspended in April 1975. It was resumed again in 1980 by President Carter in response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
The age for registration was now between the ages of eighteen and sixty-five, but only those ages eighteen to forty-five available for immediate conscription. Those drafted also had to serve the length of the war plus six months. The WW2 draft lasted from 1940 to 1947, when the bill expired. Around eleven million men were drafted into service during these eight years. Making the world better, one answer at a time.
