Request for Information on Improving the Military Selective Service Process and Increasing Participation in Military, National, and Public Service

The National Commission on Military, National, and Public Service (the ``Commission'') was created by Congress in the National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 2017 to ``conduct a review of the military selective service process (commonly referred to as `the draft') '' and to consider methods to increase participation in military, national, and public service in order to address national security and other public service needs of the Nation. In connection with this effort, Congress has directed the Commission to seek written comments from the general public and interested parties on matters of the Commission's review. The Commission seeks to learn more about the general public's views on these topics, including what has encouraged or discouraged them to perform voluntary or paid services for their communities at all levels.
