Legislation required all men from 18 to 65 to register with those who were aged 18 to 45 being immediately liable for induction. The service commitments for inductees were set at the length of the war plus six months. As the need for people increased during World War II, draftees were inducted both into the Marine Corps and the Army. see link below

What is the youngest a person is the United States could be drafted into the war? In Britain, the age for compulsory military service was between 16 and 60, but those over 50 were usually NOT inducted, they served in Home Guard units or as fire wardens, and auxiliary fire men.

In the United States, the draft started at age 18. People of age 17 could volunteer under certain conditions.
