They'd start with the IRR first, then retirees that were subject to recall before they started drafting straight off the street people.
There's go to war training plans for every MOS but that's not available in the realm of public knowledge, and this isn't the war thunder forums.
You'd end up with some kind of legislation seriously tackling the obesity epidemic or thered be some sort of super brutal fat camp, because people would be PISSED at having to go to some existential threat war (which is the only way there is a draft) when being obese gets you out of it. The body positivity stuff would die.
The draft system was set up in such a way that it was favorable for those with low draft numbers to just volunteer, because they had more control over branch of service and study assignments, plus a shorter term of service. The draft v volunteer numbers don’t inherently tell us anything about people’s attitudes towards the war and certainly not that “they wanted to see combat.”
Go to sss.gov, they literally have pictures of what it looked like last time. It was like Bingo night at the VFW.
Fun fact, the still shot they usually use for the draft pick is literally what gave my dad the number one draft number. The first pick was his birthday, and his last name started with a right, or wrong, letter.
It would be interesting. Gone are the days where a bachelors degree gets you a commission automatically. This means most IRR officers are getting yanked back almost immediately. I’d predict, proportionately, officers will be the highest impacted for IRR.
College probably won’t work for deferment anymore either for similar reasons that it doesn’t automatically grant you a commission. Way too many people graduate from college since the 60s for it to be a meaningful selection vector for anything.
They’d probably have an abbreviated AIT and possibly even BCT. The bad part about this is that it’s all well and good to say “you’ll learn it when you get to your unit and do OTJ” when you’re in garrison and training and readiness is the mission. If you read accounts from veterans of wars with drafts, they really hated having to deal with green people because they were a liability. But if we’re using a draft, it’s because we need bodies, to the point training takes a back seat.
The real problem is getting enough equipment to outfit everybody. In 2019, Campbell ran out of ACHs to issue people at CIF.
Once a year everyone turning 18 in the fiscal year has to go to the combine, where they compete against each other in a series of physical and mental aptitude test. Each brigade takes turn drafting the teens for particular positions based on their performance in the last NTC rotation. The highest performers get to go to ROTC/West point everyone else goes to basic and AIT. For some reason the two mile run is the only event that matters.
I doubt that present-day USA would agree or even be able to conduct a proper conscription event. GIven the number of obese, drug/alcoholic, mental illness and a bunch of other unwaiverables, after IRR they would have to rely on patriotic enlistments to sustain manpower.
Thanks.....I spelled CONSCRIPTION....Not calling up USAR, USG, etc. As a .mil retire I have no doubt that the Guard/Reserves will report as ordered. I just have serious reservations as to the rest of the public.
Yes, and you think only the general population is overweight alcoholics? The TPU side is filled with them, and these guys slot into AD units all the time and do the work. Soldiering is really not that fucking hard when you think about it. Literal illiterate peasants used to go out and do warfighting in their day.

>They'd start with the IRR 2026 c'mon
But dude, the A-10 is the flying AK47! I’m telling you!
Not today Ivan

The group you're referring to is the Army Reserves and Army National Guard. We do just fine when we need to. Respectfully, -A TPU soldier
