The United States government mobilized for World War I primarily by implementing the Selective Service Act, which established a military draft. This draft required men aged 21 to 30 (later expanded) to register, resulting in approximately 2.8 million draftees contributing to the military effort. The draft was essential to provide the necessary manpower for the war efforts, significantly growing the military from just under 400,000 to millions of troops.
