Read a random definition: contestation of suit

A quick definition of Selective Service System:

The Selective Service System is a government agency that keeps track of all people between the ages of 18 and 26 who are able to join the military. During times of emergency, the agency provides people to help the Armed Forces. It was created in 1940 and became its own independent agency in 1943. We use the abbreviation SSS to talk about it.

A more thorough explanation:

The Selective Service System is a federal agency that registers all individuals between the ages of 18 and 26 who are eligible for military service. It also provides personnel to the Armed Forces during emergencies. The agency was established in 1940 as a part of the War Manpower Commission and became independent in 1943. Its abbreviation is SSS.

  • John turned 18 last month and received a notice from the Selective Service System to register for the draft.
  • During a national emergency, the Selective Service System may call upon registered individuals to serve in the military.

The first example illustrates how the Selective Service System registers individuals who are eligible for military service. The second example shows how the agency provides personnel to the Armed Forces during emergencies.
