Fearing that its new plans for the U.S. military draft pool won’t work, the Selective Service System wants to create a computer simulation to test scenarios for its national mobilization.

The “Readiness Simulation” project comes as the U.S. government is about to change its draft registration system.

Since 1940, men within a designated age range have been required to register with the Selective Service. But under a proposed rule, men aged 18 to 26 will be automatically registered starting Dec. 19, 2026. The Selective Service System will work off data contained in other federal databases.

Questions remain about how prepared the Selective Service System is to handle the change.

“SSS currently relies on manual analysis, legacy modeling approaches, outdated assumptions, and historical datasets that do not fully reflect modern demographics, communications channels, throughput constraints, or operational readiness conditions,” warned the agency in a Request for Quote for the Readiness Simulation tool.

The deadline for vendors to propose their simulation models is Aug. 14.

The computer simulation will explore multiple areas. These include evaluating staffing and resource requirements, comparing mobilization and police scenarios and assessing the operational impact of surge conditions. In addition, the system will “identify throughput risks, delays, and bottlenecks” and support executive planning and reporting obligations.

The goal is a simulation system that “models the full end-to-end SSS mobilization pipeline, supports configurable scenarios, and provides decision-support analytics necessary for leadership, planners, and operators.”

Scenarios will encompass draft registration, selection, notification, delivery and classification. They will also cover the Alternative Service Program, which includes various forms of community service as well as conscientious objectors.

Computer models will “represent MEPS [Military Entrance Processing Stations] throughput, no-shows, medical disqualification rates, claims processing, and ASP diversion,” according to the Request for Quote.

Contractors must be prepared to run the Readiness Simulation while “recognizing that legacy SSS draft data may be outdated or unreliable,” the agency said.

A draft registration system based on data compiled by — and accessed from — other federal agencies is likely to raise privacy concerns.

The computer simulation “shall operate within an SSS-designated cloud environment, use anonymized aggregate data, and support complete Government ownership and sustainment,” the agency said.

The simulation must also comply with multiple privacy regulations.

No chink or russki ever called me an alt-right incel.

They would if they thought it would bring them some sort of advantage.

If you have ever supported dying for Israel then you should be forced to do so.

The land of the free indeed

The draft has been a part of American warfare for almost two centuries.

More to the point, military service by the electorate is a fundamental pillar of a healthy republic. Part of the problem we face right now is a lack of consequences between the voters, their elected representatives, and an Iranian drone live streaming them getting blown up. The draft should be reinstated if for no other reason then to randomly grab some theater kids so they can spend a year getting shelled by brown people before getting released back into the wild of their bug hive city to go work in human rights or law or some shit.

I guarantee a tour of duty having to actually deal with brown people in their native habitat will cure them of any notions they might have about their culture and mindset.

Yeah im just not gonna comply like all of the 70 iq Somalians would. You cant force compliance without death which will not be used LOL, LMAO.

Which is a problem if we want to maintain a Republic.

Keep in mind I am a Monarchist. I don't believe the American Republic can be sustained, and the only way to truly save the Nation (the American Nation) is to overthrow the Republic and establish a Monarchy under an American King who is not just American culturally, but American racially.

This statement of yours essentially outlines fundamentally the issue that if the Republic cannot rally people to die for it externally, it certainly won't rally them to die for it internally. If Americans are unwilling to die for the Republic, then the Republic is on borrowed time. Which to a certain extent I also don't want to see. The coming of America's crowned sovereign would be a conflict of horrific scale and slaughter. I do want to avoid this personally, even if intellectually I see it as inevitable.

Even so the usa will collapse once all the olds naturally expire. A total collapse can only happen when theres a gap big enough for a total power shift. If you live that long you will see the political system crumble once people realize they have no chance of holding office ever.

The second wave after the old politicians taking power will be their children and the people they enstate to take office over any regulated election. The general public will realize enmasse that voting does not matter and the federal government will functionally dissolve into chaos as states solidify their own laws as being above that of any new government.

I cannot wait to see this with my own eyes so i can dance upon the graves of the olds

I can tell you’re a neckbeard that’s never served or even interacted with those who have.

The Army lets you enlist up to your 40’s faggot. If you want to die on Kharg island for kikes keep everyone else out of it.

 

[Potion_Time]

He just understood you had to let American Soldiers get killed for the national interest and many of them would never understand why they had to die beyond simple platitudes about patriotism and freedom.

The jew says that I have to die but he doesn't? How about I join the invading force and kill the jew alongside them? I didn't bother to read past this part as I already know you have nothing valuable to add to the conversation beyond the general bad faith pilpul your people engage in constantly.

I would but I've already been recruited by the Star League do defend the frontier against Xur and the Ko-dan armada.

 

[The Grognard]

Of course in life nothing is inevitable, but we'd sooner see tactical nuke deployment than a large scale ground invasion of Iran somehow draining all the reserves, national guard, every branch of the military. Draft talk is 99% of the time military commanders vocally fantasizing at the thought of more resources.

These things can be done step-by-step. The most politically convenient target for drafting is the prison population who then can be given the offer of "Serve the rest of the 25 year sentence or be 11B for 5 years".

 

[Zoobles]

Go sir, I fought the wars for several years. At this point I can't enlist. I've punched my card twice.

the chicken sandwich wars weren't actually wars, they were a marketing stunt that benefitted the bottom lines of both Chick-fil-A and Popeyes

Observations and opinions by one that had a nodding acquaintance with the draft,

Draft ended in 73, year I turned 18. Signed up, got draft card. Enlisted in the AF in 74, went to language school on a small Army base, Presidio of Monterey. Right across Monterey Bay was Fort Ord, a huge Army base, had a division there as well as the basic training mission. Saw a few draftees. Saw a few draftees on the Presidio, they lived on a different part of the base than ourselves.

Returned in 95. Fort Ord had just closed, except for some housing, base exchange, support facilities. Worked out great for us, we got a colonel's house on the Presidio since so many colonels had left.

Fort Ord has almost totally been turned over to civilian purposes, still has housing, base exchange, commissary. Even the railroad tracks leading to Fort Ord have been removed.

So a draft is reinstituted. Will easily take 9 months at a minimum to turn the draftees into Army infantry/military police replacements. But over the years the training base has been greatly cut back. Where do you put these people? Where will they live? Where will you get the drill sergeants to train these men? Keep in mind that any draft will come on the heels of a total mobilization of Reserves/National Guard plus recalls of Individual Ready Reservists and selected retirees. The mobilization for Desert Storm, which was not a total mobilization, was problematical enough. One thing in particular found to be a mess was the concept of National Guard 'round-out' brigades to join Regular Army divisions. Didn't always go well, and heard one round-out brigade never became combat-ready. We fought that war with a total 18-division Regular Army, but keep in mind not all those divisions fought in Desert Storm. Had a division in Korea, can't move it. Had divisions in Europe but not all could be moved. Regular Army was cut back to 10 divisions after Desert Storm to save money. "They" decided next time a war would be fought by the 'total force' of Regulars/Reserves/National Guard.

This simulated draft's going to be a fucking mess, but nothing compared to an actual draft, even if there was no resistance to a draft.

reminder that mtf trannies are NOT EXEMPT from selective service! Suffah trannies!

On one hand, a draft isn't going to happen because any war that would necessitate one would be sufficiently destabilizing to break the back of the government anyhow. Any serious country could just hook something up where they pay cartels and jigaboos to empty 3D-printed Tec-9s into soft infrastructure targets, for instance, if they were already so thoroughly engaged that America had run out of volunteer personnel. I bet the Iranians are kicking themselves for not setting something like this up in advance, modeled after the way internet scammers pay ghetto nigs when they need boots on the ground to collect a box of cash or something.

On the other, if a draft did somehow happen, a Republican administration would weed out troons for combat effectiveness reasons and a Dem administration would put the troons into cushy officer jobs.

If the kerfuffle in Ukraine has shown anything, even 60 year old diabetics with bad backs get the welcoming committee if nobody else is available.

Can still be recalled, could do my last military job, not a physical job at all, Just show me what school you want me to work in and my office. But unlikely they'll need any 71-year-old senior officers.

 

[Potion_Time]

Its never anyone friendo.

You still haven't posted any proof of service. And as a veteran myself, I know you would have things immediately available in your home that you can use to show service and service dates.

I come from a pretty different doctrine of airpower but I do think you could do fine if you don't mind taking a few hints from Scandinavia on how to conduct proper air unit dispersal for highway operations.

. It's the rightwing equivalent to libs posting online about how they'd hide illegal immigrants in their homes from the Gestapo ICE or join an underground railroad to help trannies flee to Canada.

They did all of that, though. Ineptly, because they're retarded, but they did everything on that list. Just a week or so ago a squad of communist retards with rifles tried to ambush an ICE patrol (but fucked up and shot at the ground instead). Another commie tried to go Far Cry on an ICE detention center, shot two Mexicans, then slimed himself.

The Right has a lot of inertia in the direction of never using violence, it was almost a religious reflex among boomercons to disavow violence during my administration, but everyone under 30 sees that as a bad thing. Lots of right wing yeehaw kids who've been shooting since they were seven looked at that thing that shot Kirk and thought "Damn, so the Democrats faced no consequences for that? I guess dad was wrong about violence being counterproductive. Seems unlikely that I'll get to be a family man anyways, all considered..."

 

[Hollywood Hulk Hogan]

Its never anyone friendo. I said ALL men serve. The fact that you believe this is not true means you believe lies. Even death will not free you from your service either. Because you will simply trade the temporal powers you serve with the spiritual sovereign. You will live a servant, die a servant, and live again a servant. Unless you choose to not serve. The consequences for that however are horrific. Ruin and damnation await those who refuse to serve. Misery and suffering will be their wages.

Not all of us are low test elderly cucks who have a submissive nature and fantasize about getting down on our knees and serving another man as their king like you do. Despite you needing an obese 80 year old pedophile with dementia telling you what to think, most men are capable of independent thought
