Draft Board

A Draft Board is a government organization responsible for selecting individuals for military service during times of conscription or national need. When a draft is active, eligible men are registered, and the Draft Board reviews their information to determine who will be called for service. They consider factors like health, occupation, and family circumstances to assign deferments or exemptions. The goal is to ensure fair and organized conscription, balancing the needs of the military with individual situations. Essentially, the Draft Board acts as an administrative body managing the process of selecting citizens for mandatory military service.
