World War 2 Civil Defense & America’s First Peacetime Draft FDC 1940
World War 2 Civil Defense & America’s First Peacetime Draft FDC 1940
Postage Stamps World War II, there were various initiatives in the United States to prepare for potential involvement in the conflict. One of these initiatives was the introduction of the first peacetime draft, which occurred in 1940. Additionally, civil defense efforts were launched to prepare Americans at home for possible air raids and other wartime challenges.
About World War 2 1940
America’s First Peacetime Draft:
The Selective Training and Service Act of 1940, also known as the Burke-Wadsworth Act, was signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on September 16, 1940. This act introduced the first peacetime draft in the United States. It allowed for the conscription of men between the ages of 21 and 36 for a period of 12 months of military training and service. The draft was a response to the growing threats in Europe and Asia, as World War II was already underway in Europe, and the U.S. government believed that conscription was necessary to prepare for potential involvement in the conflict. This event was a significant step in the U.S. military’s preparedness for World War II.
Civil Defense Efforts:
Civil defense efforts during World War II were aimed at preparing American civilians for the possibility of air raids, bombings, and other wartime emergencies. These efforts included blackout drills, air raid wardens, shelters, and public awareness campaigns to educate the public on safety measures. While there were no postage stamps dedicated to civil defense efforts, these initiatives played a vital role in ensuring the safety and preparedness of the civilian population during wartime.
