The federal government plans to automatically register eligible men for the military draft beginning in December, according to a proposed rule published last week. 
The Selective Service System (SSS), the government agency that maintains the database of draft-eligible Americans, submitted the “automatic registration” rule change to the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs on March 30. 
Under federal law, most males between 18 and 25 years old are already required to register with the Selective Service System in case a military draft is authorized. 
Congress approved automatic registration for the draft last December as part of the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act, must-pass legislation that authorizes funding for military personnel and operations.
