It requires 18 year olds to register within five days after 18, with possible drafting at 19 for 21 months unless exempt or deferred. It details exemptions for ministers, physically or mentally unfit individuals, aliens seeking citizenship, state officials, sole surviving sons, conscientious objectors, current service members, and certain veterans, plus deferments for critical farming or national health needs, wives with children, reserve members, and ROTC college students. The president may call reservists into active service at any time.
