The Selective Service System 1

A MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTORSSS ANNUAL REPORT 2002

• In cooperation with the SSS, 14 additional states plusthe Northern Mariana Islands and the U.S. Virgin Islandsenacted laws to register young men as part of the processof applying for a state driver’s license, enabling men tocomply more easily with Federal law, and protecting theireligibility for many Federal and state programs.

• Because of program innovations, the on-timeregistration rate for young men (those who registeredwithin 30 days of their 18th birthday) increased from 76.6percent at the end of FY 2001 to 77.8 percent at the endof FY 2002. And there was also a significant increase inthe overall registration compliance rate for draft-eligiblemales, ages 20 through 25, climbing from 91.9 to 93.5percent by the end of the fiscal year.

• The number of registrations received throughautomated sources versus submission of paper formsincreased 9 percentage points from FY 2001 to FY 2002.This is significant because processing electronicregistrations is more efficient and consumes less labor,materials, and time than former methods.

It is a personal honor for me to lead America’s SelectiveService System—an independent Federal agency definedby integrity, purpose, and dedicated to promoting fairnessand equity in all of its programs. Over many decades ithas worked hard to earn the respect of all Americans. Itsnearly universal support is grounded in several tenets:that there must always be a balance between individualfreedoms and the needs of the community; that membersof a free society must incur civic and legal obligations tosafeguard it; and that America must be capable ofmobilizing national manpower to reinforce the ArmedForces in a major crisis. Reflecting on a proud history ofmore than 60 years, today’s SSS ensures that “We thepeople” remain prepared to live up to the Constitutionalmandate “to provide for the common defense.”

Alfred Rascon

Executive Branch activities during the time periodcovered by this report have been extraordinary byanyone’s measure. With a renewed sense of urgencyspurred by the war on terrorism, the Administration isimplementing its vision for the Nation, restructuring theFederal Government to reflect today’s national securityneeds, and leading America’s firm commitment tosafeguard freedom and democracy against repressionand aggression in many corners of the world.

In this critical climate of increased vigilance and renewedpurpose, I am especially proud of the professional reactionof the employees, Guardmembers, Reservists, andvolunteers of the Selective Service System (SSS). Theyare responding with steady, deliberate, and reliableperformance. Their focus is to keep the System readyand able to meet the potential critical manpower needs ofthe Department of Defense.

This Annual Report for FY 2002 summarizes significantSSS initiatives and activities with a focus on its registrationprogram. It documents many success stories resultingprimarily from grass roots programs and unprecedentedstate government support of the national registrationrequirement.

During Fiscal Year 2002, each member of the SSS teamcontributed to achievements which were dynamic andmeasurable.

SSS ANNUAL REPORT 2002

The Selective Service System (SSS) is anindependent, small Federal agency,operating with permanent authorization under

the Military Selective Service Act (50 U.S.C. App. 451 etseq.). It is not part of the Defense Department; however,it exists to serve the emergency manpower needs of theDefense Department, if a draft is necessary. The Agencyremains ready toimplement a draft ofu n t r a i n e dmanpower, orpersonnel withprofessional healthcare or specialskills, if directed bythe Congress andthe President to doso in a nationalcrisis. The SSS isAmerica’s onlyproven and time-tested hedge againstunderestimating thenumber of activeduty and reservec o m p o n e n tpersonnel neededto fight a futureconflict. Its statutorymission also includes being ready to administer anAlternative Service Program, in lieu of military service,for men classified as conscientiously opposed to anyform of military service.

In peacetime, the Agency is minimally staffed and heavilydependent upon part-time personnel and volunteersthroughout the U.S. (see People) to keep viable theNation’s ability to conduct a draft that would be timely, fair,and equitable in a crisis.

As a part of that readiness, virtually all men in the U.S.are required to register with Selective Service within 30days of reaching age 18 (see Registration). The currentregistration program, in effect since July 1980 for menborn on or after Jan. 1, 1960, is important for America.By registering with Selective Service, every young man

STRUCTURE AND PURPOSE

is reminded of his potential obligation to serve the Nationin an emergency. The SSS has been described as thelast link between society-at-large and today’s all-volunteerArmed Forces. Registration also is important to a man’sfuture, because the Congress, more than half of theNation’s state legislatures, and scores of counties andcity councils have conditioned eligibility for several

government programs and benefits upon a man being incompliance with the registration requirement. Theseinclude student loans and grants, government jobs, jobtraining, and U.S. citizenship (for registration age menwho are not yet citizens). In FY 2002, many states alsoenacted legislation to connect SSS registration with ayoung man’s application for a driver’s license or stateidentification card, and many others were activelyconsidering this type of legislation.

BUDGET AND FINANCE

THE FY 2002 BUDGET

On November 26, 2001, President Bush signedinto law H.R. 2620, the VA, HUD, andIndependent Agencies Appropriations Bill. It

provided the SSS with a $25.003 million budget for FY2002, the full amount requested by the Agency and$520,000 higher than the FY 2001 amount. As shown onthe accompanying chart, 70 percent of the Agency’sbudget is consumed by personnel costs and most of thebalance pays for large, unavoidable costs, including officespace, printing, and postage. The modest budgetincrease partially offset higher operating costs associatedwith the Federal pay raise and inflation. The SSS wasable to perform its mission of registering men andexperienced an increase in registration compliance of18 through 25-year-old men from 89 percent to 91 percentfor men age 20.

FY 2003 BUDGET

It was smooth sailing for the SSS in the FY 2003 budgetprocess. Under Chairman James Walsh, R-NY, theHouse Subcommittee on Appropriations for VA, HUD,and Independent Agencies recommended that the SSSbe fully funded at the level requested in the President’sFY 2003 Budget: $26.480 million.

The Senate Appropriations Committee also included thefull $26.480M for the Selective Service System in itsversion of the bill. For the first time in recent memory, theVA- HUD Appropriations Bill (H.R. 5606) went to the floorsof the House and Senate containing identical “full funding”amounts earmarked for the SSS. There were someconcerns that reductions would be proposed during thefloor debates, but no such amendments were introduced.

BUDGET PROCESS NOTCOMPLETE BYSEPTEMBER 30DEADLINE

Although the full House committeecompleted its work and passed H.R. 5605on October 9, 2002, and the full Senatecommittee did the same on July 25, 2002,by the end of FY 2002, work on the FY2003 VA, HUD, and Independent AgenciesAppropriations Bill was incomplete.

Editor ’s note: The 11 non-defenseappropriations bills were incorporated intoan Omnibus Appropriations Bill (H.J. Res.2) which obtained the Conferenceapprovals in both chambers on February13, 2003. It was signed by President Bushon February 20, 2003, and became PublicLaw 108-7.

HUMAN RESOURCES

The Selective Service continues to rely on adiverse workforce consisting of full- and part-timecivil servants, active and reserve military

personnel, and civilian volunteers. The Agency’s staffinglevel remained at a level of 166 Full-Time Equivalents(FTEs) for FY 2002. In the past five years, the Agencyhas been able to reduce its FTE level while stillaccomplishing its overall missions primarily throughinvestments in technology and employee training.

Guardmembers and Reservists from each of the militaryservices. Their tenure with SSS includes serving asdrilling Individual Mobilization Augmentees (IMAs) oras members of a National Guard unit. SSS RFOs areassigned throughout the U.S. and its territories, wherethey conduct planning and readiness training as well asa variety of other critical peacetime mobilization efforts.RFOs act as contacts for state and local governmentagencies and also assist with the dissemination of SSSinformation about the Agency and its programs to localhigh schools and the media. In addition, RFOs assist inappointing and training Local, District Appeal, and CivilianReview Board Members and are prepared to open AreaOffices nationwide in the event of a national emergencyrequiring a draft.

In addition to the RFOs who serve on a part-time basis,the Agency had eight active-duty officers serving in full-time positions throughout the SSS during FY 2002. TheAgency expects to reduce the number of active-dutymilitary where possible over the next five years inaccordance with the Agency’s workforce restructuringplan submitted to OMB earlier this year.

The eight Service members currently serving in activeduty roles within the SSS are responsible for thedevelopment and training of RFOs, management of theAgency’s registration programs, operational planning,readiness exercises, policy development, and liaisonwith the Military Services.

The largest component of the Agency’s workforce arethe Local, District Appeal, and Civilian Review Boards.The men and women serving on these boards areuncompensated civilian volunteers, appointed andserving in virtually every American community. LocalBoard Members are recommended by State Governorsor equivalent officials and appointed by the Director of theSelective Service System on behalf of the President.District Appeal, and Civilian Review Board Membersare recommended by Agency’s Region Directors andare appointed by the Director of the Selective ServiceSystem on behalf of the President. To become a BoardMember, individuals must meet specific Agencyrequirements, be upstanding citizens in theircommunities, and agree to serve as uncompensatedSSS employees before they can be appointed. In theevent of a national draft, Local and District Appeal Board

PEOPLE

Included in the Agency’s FTE accounting are three slotswhich cover 56 part-time State Director positions andone Deputy State Director position in California. StateDirectors are compensated for approximately 12 dutydays throughout the year, although in reality most devoteconsiderably more volunteer time to SSS activities.During FY 2002, the SSS appointed two new StateDirectors: retired BG Vincent J. Albanese, ARNG forNew York and retired LTC Charles A. Garrison, USA forOklahoma.

Under the Military Selective Service Act, the SSS isauthorized 745 military Reserve Force Officer (RFO)positions. During peacetime, due to funding constraints,450 of these positions are filled with National

MILITARY PERSONNEL

BOARD MEMBERS

Members would meet to decide claims filed by registrantswho seek draft deferments, postponements, andexemptions, in accordance with national policies. Theyreceive an initial 12 hours of training and are required toattend 4 hours of annual refresher training.

Civilian Review Board (CRB) Members deal primarilywith claims filed by young men who the Local or DistrictAppeal Boards have classified as conscientiousobjectors and have been ordered to perform 24 monthsof “alternative service” in lieu of military service. TheCRBs listen to requests by these objectors for publicservice job reassignments, based on reasons ofconscience and determine whether or not a jobassignment violates a person’s religious, moral, or ethicalbeliefs bearing on their participation in a war.

During FY 2002, the Agency took several steps to providequality training to its workforce and to improve customerservice within the organization. To reduce costsassociated with traditional off-site training courses, theAgency’s Resource Management Division acquired ane-learning training system known as Skillsoft. Skillsoftallows SSS employees to choose from over 700 coursesorganized into 21 major curricula including management,leadership, communication, business strategy, and

customer service. With Skillsoft, employees are able totake training courses from their desktop personalcomputers, train at their own pace, and transfer newlylearned skills back to the job through the system’s on-line job aids. In addition to providing the SSS workforcewith e-training opportunities, employees also participatedin a team-building seminar. Employees, along with theirsupervisors, joined together to participate in processimprovement, management, and interaction training. SSSbelieves in its diverse workforce and strives to expandtraining opportunities and provide quality training to allemployees, whenever possible.

During FY 2002, the Records Management Divisioncompleted implementation of the Agency’s Filenet system.Filenet has allowed the Agency to improve its handling ofincoming paper correspondence which has increasedan average of 30 percent per year. Moving towards apaperless office environment, the Agency is able to serveits customers more efficiently through electronic scanning,storage, and on-line retrieval of documents.

RECORDS MANAGEMENT

SSS ANNUAL REPORT 2002 REGISTRATION ACTIVITIES

In calendar year (CY) 2001, the Selective ServiceSystem (SSS) for the first time in more than a decadenot only stemmed the decline in registration

compliance, but had its first increase in seven years:from 88 percent to 89 percent for men ages 18 through25, who are required to be registered. Registration isneeded if the SSS, through inductions (i.e., “draft”),became required to furnish manpower to the Departmentof Defense in the event of a national emergency declaredby the Congress and the President. (There is noregistration for health care personnel because the Agencyhas no authority to do so.)

Contributing to increased registration compliance were:

(1) the enactment in states and territories of driver’slicense legislation requiring registration with the SelectiveService System to obtain a motor vehicle driver’s licenseor state identification card;(2) increased use of on-line registration via the SSSWeb site;(3) increased emphasis on appointing volunteer SSShigh school registrars;(4) additional mailings to states having the lowestcompliance along with highest registrant populationpotential (i.e., California, Florida, Texas, and New York),as well as nationwide to those 19-year-olds who had notregistered;

(5) targeted, cost effective registration awarenessinitiatives, including public service broadcast messages(in English and Spanish) and outreach efforts to theeducational and community leaders and groups; and(6) release to national media of a “State Report Card” toreport registration compliance of those men turning 20(i.e., draft eligible) in the current calendar year.

GOAL: INCREASING REGISTRATIONCOMPLIANCE – DRIVER’S LICENSEINITIATIVE

Since the objective of the Registration Program is to havea fair and equitable draft when the need arises, stemmingthe decline in registration compliance was not enough.What was required was an additional and more dramaticmeans to increase registration compliance. As a result,the Agency provided requested information to those statesand territories which desired to pursue driver’s licenselegislation in support of the SSS registration requirement.The SSS provided assistance, such as: reviewing draftlegislation, maintaining a working agreement with theAmerican Association of Motor Vehicle AdministratorsNetwork, and providing information management-relatedtechnical expertise. By the end of FY 2002, 26 states(Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Florida,Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Louisiana, Maryland,

Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, NewYork, Ohio, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, SouthCarolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas,Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin),two territories (Commonwealth of the NorthernMariana Islands and the U.S. Virgin Islands),and the District of Columbia enacted driver’slicense legislation in support of the SSSregistration requirement. In lieu of driver’slicense legislation, the State of Alaska enactedlegislation requiring registration with SelectiveService for men who are required to register toreceive proceeds from the Alaska PermanentResident Fund. As a result of implemented statelegislation, 330,019 men were registered in FY2002, compared to 23,343 in FY 2001. (At theend of FY 2002, North Carolina had passeddriver’s license legislation which was awaitingthe Governor’s signature for enactment.)

For FY 2003, primary registration improvementemphasis will continue to be on assisting states

in their efforts to enact legislation requiring SelectiveService registration to obtain a driver’s license or

identification card. Although the states which havecurrently enacted the legislation comprise nearly 56percent of the Nation’s registrant population potential, it isnot enough. The Agency’s goal is to provide requestedassistance to all states and territories. As each state/territory comes on line, cost avoidances will result –allowing for the reallocation of resources to improve theoverall mobilization readiness of the Selective ServiceSystem.

INITIATIVES TOWARD THE GOALOF INCREASING REGISTRATIONCOMPLIANCE

Uncompensated Selective Service Board Members andState Resource Volunteers took part in the “Adopt-a-Post Office” program to help ensure U.S. Post Officeemployees have supplies of registration materials andknow current SSS/United States Postal Service (USPS)procedures. Cost effective initiatives helped young men,age 18 through 25, register more quickly and easily tocomply with the law and remain eligible for student financialaid, job training, government employment and, for

immigrants, U.S. citizenship. For example, as a result ofincreased attention given to the Internet, tape matching

programs, and a telephoneoption, 69 percent ofregistrations were electronicby the end of FY 2002,compared to 60 percent at theend of FY 2001. Electronicregistrations, compared topaper/card registrations, aremore cost effective andprovide speedier customerservice. Board Members andState Resource Volunteersalso participated in the “Adopt-a-High School” program tosecure a high school registrarand emphasize on-lineregistration.

With the cooperation of theImmigration and NaturalizationService, immigrant men whoapply for permanent U.S.residency also becomeautomatically registered with

Selective Service. Also, young men who complete theU.S. Department of State’s Application for an ImmigrantVisa are automatically registered. During FY 2002, 88,163men were automatically registered compared to 39,148men in FY 2001.

REGISTRAR PROGRAMSEighty-four percent (an increase of two percent) of theNation’s 20,841 high schools had an uncompensatedvolunteer acting as a High School Registrar, who isauthorized to administer and receive registrations fromyoung men. The Agency’s High School RegistrarProgram is a most effective awareness program whichinforms male students face-to-face about the requirementto register with Selective Service. Because registrationis a prerequisite for Federal job opportunities and studentfinancial assistance programs, this program continuedto reduce the delay and disqualification many studentscould experience if their registration obligation was notfulfilled at the time they turned 18 years of age. Theprogram also provided a convenient location for youngmen to register—their high school.

The Agency also obtained increased cooperation fromuncompensated Selective Service Registrars from theFarmworkers Opportunity Program and the WorkforceInvestment Act Program. This resulted in increasedregistration awareness and compliance by registrationage men participating in those programs.

On-line registrant verification resulted in improvedcustomer service by providing High School Registrars,as well as registrants, student financial aid officers,and Workforce Investment Act officials, the abilityto check or verify registrations.

its registration file when the man is within 30 days ofreaching age 18. During this fiscal year, 477,577 youngmen submitted their information early, an increase of283,708 over FY 2001.

REGISTRATION REMINDER MAIL-BACK PROGRAM

The Agency’s effective Registration Reminder Mail-backProgram generated approximately two million registrationreminder post cards to young men just before their 18thbirthday. The Registration Reminder Mail-back Cardremains a convenient way for young men to register.Names of those likely to be required to register areobtained from states’ Departments of Motor Vehicles(DMVs), the Department of Defense high school recruitinglist, and the Department of Education. State DMV data isobtained from almost every state and territory of the UnitedStates, representing approximately 85 percent of thepotential records identified for compliance processing.Other sources of data used in thecompliance program

are theUSPS, the Departments

of Defense, Labor, and Transportation,and the Office of Personnel Management.

EARLYSUBMISSION

To reach young males who areconsidering dropping out of school,as well as to buttress on-timeregistration compliance, the Agencyemphasized its Early Submission ofRegistration Information Program. Thisprogram allows 17-year-old males tosubmit registration information “early” viamail-back registration cards, thetelephone, the Internet, and driver’s licenseapplications (in states with driver’s licenselegislation). The SSS holds in a suspensefile the personal data the young man hasfurnished and then automatically enters it into

SSS Registration Reminder Mail-back card.

The Agency continued special direct mailings to improveregistration awareness and registration compliance rates.These mailings were to potential registrants in largepopulation, low registration compliance metropolitanareas, with emphasis on California, Texas, New York,and Florida.

The Selective Service System’s goal is registration, notprosecution. However, if a man fails to register, or provideevidence that he is exempt from the registrationrequirement, his name is referred to the Department ofJustice (DOJ) for investigation and possible prosecutionas required by the Military Selective Service Act. As a

result, during FY 2002, more than 189,000 names andaddresses of non-registrants were provided to the DOJ.

BOTTOM LINE

SSS ANNUAL REPORT 2002 PUBLIC OUTREACH

On October 17, 2001, Rep. Joe Knollenberg (R-MI) introduced H.R. 3149, which was referredto the Committee on Armed Services. This

proposed bill sought to increase registration complianceby providing a temporary amnesty period for those youngmen, ages 18 through 25, who should have registeredwith Selective Service, but failed to do so. It proposed toallow their registration without fear of legal penalty byproviding a 60-day grace period beginning with theenactment of the bill. Although its purpose was well-intentioned, the proposed legislation was unnecessarybecause nonregistrants currently can register late withoutlegal penalty up until their 26th birthday. H.R. 3149 was notacted upon by the Committee on Armed Services andthe bill died with the end of the 107th Congress.

In FY 2002, the SSS continued to conduct publicinformation programs to remind young men and thepeople who influence them about the registrationrequirement. Efforts took the form of broadcast publicservice messages, media efforts, production anddistribution of posters and printed literature, expandeddirect communication with the public through e-mail,

Congress, SSS Board Members and staff, anddissemination of publicity kits for local community and in-school use.

STATE-BY-STATE COMPLIANCEREPORT

In May 2002, the Selective Service released its third“Annual Report Card” of state registration compliancerates for CY 2001. Compliance rates represented thepercent of resident young men born in 1982 who wereregistered with Selective Service. Men falling within thisage group were significant to the SSS because menturning 20 during the calendar year in which a draft isreinstated would be the first men to be called for militaryservice in accordance with SSS regulations andprocedures. Also, measuring overall compliance of menreaching age 20 includes late registrations and providesa good benchmark to gauge the relative success ofregistration compliance in a state.

Delaware was reported as the first state to reach nearly100-percent registration compliance for men turning 20since the Agency began compiling this data. Nationally,registration compliance for men turning 20 was 86percent, down a percentage point from last year’s reportcard.

Seven states increased registration rates by 3 percentor more, with Delaware leading the way at 9 percent.Louisiana, which historically had low compliance, saw a2-percent increase, from 75 percent to 77 percent, whileTexas and Hawaii remained steady at 79 percent and 75percent, respectively. States showing reducedcompliance included Vermont (4 percent), Kansas (5percent), Maine (5 percent), Rhode Island (6 percent),and the District of Columbia (8 percent).

In addition to the percent rankings, states, U.S. territories,and the District of Columbia were given a “report card”grade based on their compliance percentage rate:A= 90-100, B= 80-89, or C= 70-79. Then, they werecompared with their two previous years’ report cardrankings.

HIGH SCHOOL PUBLICITY KIT

The SSS distributed its FY 2002 High School Kit of SSSpublicity materials at the end of the fiscal year to almost30,000 high school Selective Service Registrars andprincipals, where no registrars were assigned.

Because the Sept. 11th tragedy was fresh in their minds,young men from Atlanta, Chicago, and Denver focus

groups overwhelmingly chose Selective Servicematerials with a decidedly patriotic tone. After the materialswere produced and distributed, almost 2,000 mail-backcards from educators praised the kits contents and askedfor additional materials. By using these publicity materials,educators were assured that their young men werereminded of their legal and civic responsibility to registerwith Selective Service.

PUBLIC SERVICE MESSAGES

RadioIn FY 2002, Selective Service produced eleven “BecomeA Winner” 30- and 60-second radio public serviceannouncements (PSAs) in English and Spanish. Theywere distributed to 5,000 stations in March and August2002. Almost 96,000 PSA airings from 707 stations in433 cities were worth $1,565,640, if the time werepurchased. Radio results were measured by mail-backcards that were inserted in the PSA’s distribution packagingand returned to the SSS by radio station public servicedirectors.

TVThe SSS TV PSAs, “Game Show” and “Motocross”(produced in 2000) and combined with an edited versionof the “Lou Holtz” 2001 PSA were redistributed in March2002.

FY 2002 free airings of the rereleased PSAs wereequivalent to a total of $4,251,741 in paid advertising.They were measured by Sigma electronic tracking ofusage across the country: $2,980,869 representing19,913 airings in 199 stations, 153 cities, 46 states andmail-back cards of unduplicated TV airings and cablenetworks, totaling $1,270,872. Of significant note, the“Game Show” PSA was honored three times this yearfor its quality production—winning the prestigious TellyAward, the Communicator’s Award of Distinction, and

Scenes from SSS TV PSAs.

the Government Communicator’s Award—2nd place.Lord of the Rings actor Sean Astin had been featuredpreviously in the Selective Service high school video (3

minutes in length) in FY 2000. In an attempt to further getthe word out, the video was reworked into a 30-secondTV PSA. It was distributed to 41 national and cablenetworks in February 2002.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

The following items represent accomplishmentsin the information technology arena for FY 2002.The Information Quality Guidelines were

implemented per Section 515 of the Treasury andGeneral Government Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year2001 (Public Law 106-554; H.R. 5658; the “InformationQuality Law”) and posted to the SSS Internet site with theform for individuals to request a correction to information.

In its continuous compliance with the GovernmentInformation Security Reform Act (GISRA) and the SSSimplementing document, the SSS Information SecurityPlan (ISEP), the Office of Information Management (IM)completed annual reviews of its four major systems.The SSS completed an independent evaluation of one ofthe systems and is on schedule to accomplish theobjective of evaluating the four major systems within athree-year period. Quarterly reports were submitted toOMB on the status of correcting weaknesses identified inthe Plan of Action and Milestones (POA&M). Tenweaknesses were resolved during the fiscal year. TheCIO’s Executive Summary and Inspector General’sExecutive Summary for FY 2002 were submitted to OMBin response to the requirement contained in OMBMemorandum M-02-09, Reporting Instructions forGISRA, and Updated Guidance on Security POA&M.

for all of its major business processes. SSS’s Continuityof Operations Plan (COOP) for mission critical systemsof Registration and Readiness was tested successfullyby the Data Management Center and IM. Also, as aresult of a GSA contract between SSS and a disasterrecovery service provider, National Headquarters’automated systems would be moved to an alternatelocation in the event of an unplanned disruption to normaloperations. Disaster recovery plans were updated andseveral disaster recovery kits were prepared for storagein various locations.

In focusing on its management accountabilityresponsibilities as required by the GovernmentPerformance and Results Act (GPRA) and OMBCircular A-123, IM completed software wellnessassessments for five applications listed in its ManagementControl Plan.

IM was actively involved in the development andmaintenance of the SSS Performance Plans andPerformance Reports as required by GPRA. Customerservice surveys and data analysis of work completedare methods used by IM to measure customersatisfaction and programming efficiency.

In responding to the requirements of OMB Circular A-130 and the Information Technology ManagementReform Act of 1996 (Clinger-Cohen), which establisheda management process for identifying, selecting,controlling, and evaluating investments in informationresources, the Office of Operations worked on updatingcapital planning and investment portfolios for eightprograms.

An IM employee completed the Assistive TechnologyApplications Certification Program (ATACP) for Section508 certification.

Again this year, focus on computer security wassignificant. The Agency’s virus scanning software wasupgraded to a product that provides automatic updates tousers through the network. This is an improvement overthe previous software which required manual updatingby the user. Annual computer security awareness trainingwas provided to all Agency users in November. TheAgency’s firewall was upgraded to provide the capabilityto establish virtual private network (VPN) connections.Such connections can be established over the Internetand are encrypted to ensure all data transmitted acrossthe connection remains secure. This upgrade wascompleted in support of the Agency’s telecommuteinitiative, as well as to support the transfer of files fromother agencies. The ability to transfer data via secureVPN connections protects the registrants’ sensitive data.SSS understands the need to protect such data and willcontinue to take every step necessary to ensure theprivacy and confidentiality of his information. SSS iscommitted to maintaining alternative processing locations

IM played an large part in the execution of ReadinessExercise (REX) 2002, which whose purpose was todetermine SSS readiness by evaluating procedures,automated capabilities, and training. There were 50participating exercise locations that used softwarecomponents developed by IM. Pre-exercise preparationwas extensive as IM personnel developed and testedprograms, developed software disk media, conductedJoint Exercise Training sessions with Region personnel,

and conducted an extensive connectivity test. Overall,REX 2002 was a success.

Also, IM planned for and conducted two data interfacetests with the United States Military Entrance ProcessingCommand (USMEPCOM). These tests evaluated thedata exchange mechanism and the compatibility ofregistrant disposition codes.

IM assisted in the SSS briefing for the Center onConscience & War (CCW), formerly the NationalInterreligious Service Board for Conscientious Objectors(NISBCO). The Center works to defend and extend therights of conscientious objectors and is committed tosupporting all those who question participation in war,whether they are U.S. citizens, permanent residents,documented or undocumented immigrants—or citizensin other countries. IM developed programs, such as theAlternative Service Processing System, which processconscientious objectors and these programs weredemonstrated at the CCW meeting.

In keeping with the cycle for updating the informationtechnology infrastructure, new desktop computers withupgraded software were installed for all users atHeadquarters. Some Region desktop computers were

replaced as well as some laptop computers in the field.Upgraded software was provided to all users.

A number of computer applications were developed orenhanced.

The biggest improvement in technology for the IntegratedMobilization Information System (IMIS) came by way ofthe Intranet site which has been under development forthe past two years. Legacy IMIS data are converted andimported into a modern database providing immediateavailability of this vital information to all field personnel withaccess to the Intranet. Many forms and reports are nowavailable. Newly converted reports are being added on aregular basis.

The Property Accounting Management System(PAMS), which uses a commercial off-the-shelf softwarepackage called PropertyPlus, was provided to all threeRegions and the Data Management Center. This systemutilizes bar code and scanning technology and replacesthe legacy system that had been in place since 1984.

The SSS will continue to build on its information technologyinfrastructure to increase productivity and to enhancecustomer service.

In FY 2002, the SSS placed significant emphasis onits ability to maintain an increased state of readiness.After September 11, 2001, the SSS renewed its effort

to fine-tune all functions involved with a return toconscription in the event Congress and the Presidentshould require activation of some form of a draft. TheHealth Care Personnel Delivery System (HCPDS), an“on-the-shelf” program designed to conscript trainedcivilian health care personnel for service in the ArmedForces, was reviewed with updates incorporated in theDraft HCPDS Policies and Procedures Manual. A test ofthis system is planned for FY 2005. The lottery, a systemestablished to ensure a fair and equitable draft, wasautomated using a computer-based visual display systemand tested. As a result of the test, further enhancementsto the system were identified and work is in progress toimplement these enhancements. A The AlternativeService Program (ASP), designed to administer alternateservice for men who are classified as conscientiouslyopposed to participating in war of any form, was refinedand a complete rewrite of the ASP Chapter in theRegistrant Integrated Processing System Manual wasaccomplished and implemented.

National Appeal, and Civilian Review Board Members.In addition to incorporating new and innovative trainingpractices, technology also played a major role in thesuccess of the Agency’s FY 2002 training programs.While continuing to leverage past training successes andunlock the possibilities of digital technology, the SSSNational Headquarters Training Element worked to buildon the technical advances that have fueled so muchproductivity, growth, and opportunity in the training industry.

FY 2002 READINESS EXERCISES

During this fiscal year, the Agency conducted a nationwideReadiness Exercise (REX) in which all three Regionsparticipated. This REX included participants from everystate, as well as the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Guam,the Mariana Islands, and the District of Columbia.Exercise policies and procedures, as well as automationactivities, were tested prior to the REX to ensure theviability of the exercise. This REX involved testing AreaOffices and Alternative Service Offices registrantprocessing systems. Goals and objectives developedfor the REX were met. Comments and recommendationsreceived from all participants are in the process of beingvalidated and any corrections resulting from the validationwill be used to refine the next REX when the SSS teststhe HCPDS program in FY 2005.

Because the SSS is a national mobilization responseorganization, its readiness training program is a vitalcomponent to mission preparedness for its StateDirectors, Reserve Force Officers (RFOs), Area OfficeAugmentees (AOAs), and more than 10,000Presidentially-appointed volunteer Local, District Appeal,

RESERVE FORCE OFFICER (RFO)AND STATE DIRECTOR TRAINING

As more people turned to the Internet and across anexpanding range of electronic devices for informationand communication, newly appointed State Directors andassigned RFOs were provided the Agency’s recentlyupdated self-study, Phase I portion of the New Officer/State Director (NO/SD) Program in an innovativeelectronic format. With a focus on integrating traditionaltraining methods with a technology-based delivery, thenew Phase I training included a self-study booklet, aswell as an interactive, electronic tutorial that is availableon CD ROM. In addition to a Region Orientation, newState Directors and RFOs attending the NO/SD Phase IIProgram conducted by the Region Headquarters, wereprovided a revamped Professional Development Course(PDC) detailing their mobilization duties andresponsibilities. Using multimedia equipment, the PDCincorporates the three most likely mobilization scenariosfaced by the Agency — Emergency Mobilization, Time-Phased Response, and Health Care. The PDC alsoincludes some of the most current industry-standardtraining methodologies and instructional materials. Forexample, students learn their vital activation roles usingparticipative exercises, classroom lectures, skill trainingactivities, and other interactive uses of state-of-the-arttraining techniques. The PDC instructional materials werepresented with comprehensive, eye-appealing visuals,videos, Instructor and Student Workbooks, InstructorGuides, and other training aids that assisted in thepresentation of the two-day, applications-based course.As part of the New Officer/State Director Phase II TrainingProgram, an RFO Certification Examination wasadministered to RFOs completing the PDC to validatetheir comprehension and knowledge of the trainingmaterials presented. Another key component tomaintaining mission preparedness is a Certification Exam

that is being readministered to RFOs every three years.The exam identifies areas requiring additional trainingand validates an RFO’s understanding of the Agency’smobilization functions and procedures.

State Directors and RFOs completed refresher trainingusing readiness-based Training Guidance Outlines(TGOs) and Training Guidance Packets (TGPs). Forexample, a newly developed TGP was distributed toprovide training on their responsibilities associated withrecruiting, selecting, and appointing Board Members toserve on Local Boards. Partnering with Selective ServiceInformation Technology personnel, innovative readiness-training materials were also developed to train RFOs andState Directors participating in the REX. In addition totraining booklets and handouts focusing on recentlydeveloped software applications, self-study coursewaresuch as User’s Guides and CD-ROMs were includedas part of the REX’s new training materials.

The Agency’s Local, District Appeal, National Appeal,and Civilian Review Board Members were providedeither Initial Board Member Training (IBMT) orContinuation Training. To lay a solid foundation for newlyappointed Board Member’s individual training, they wereprovided updated “Preliminary Readings” Booklets to

orient them on the Agency and prepare them for theirBoard Member responsibilities. Building on this initialtraining, all new Board Members then attended 1 of 39,12-hour IBMT program sessions conducted at variouslocations throughout the Nation. The development of anew Initial Board Member Training (IBMT) Program,intended to prepare newly appointed Civilian ReviewBoard Members in their Alternative Service Programduties, was initiated this year. Work on this program willcontinue next year with the development and expansionof Trainer and Board Member Handbooks, case fileactivities, 35mm slides, and video productions.

Other advances in the readiness training programincluded the development of a new interactive, self-pacedContinuation Training Program for National Appeal BoardMembers. The course materials were directly related totheir duties and responsibilities as National Appeal BoardMembers and this was the first readiness training ever

provided to them in an electronic learningformat.

Local and District Appeal Board Memberswere also provided group studyContinuation Training with audiovisualproduction support provided by thePentagon’s Army Visual InformationServices (USAVIS) Unit. USAVIS wasinstrumental in ensuring that scriptchanges, contemporary music, in-houseand outsourced talent, and a closedcaptioning feature were incorporated intothe Agency’s Local and District AppealBoard Continuation Training videos. Thiswas the first year a role-play video wasprovided to District Appeal BoardMembers and feedback from participantslauded this learning media for its engaging,skill-enhancing style of training. CivilianReview Board Members were alsoprovided self-study Continuation Trainingmaterials in FY 2002. Taking advantageof other multimedia applications, the CivilianReview Board self-study booklet was

accompanied by an audio role-play on a cassette.

In addition, the Agency’s National Headquarters continuedits annual program of hosting a group of U.S. Army WarCollege students for an Agency briefing. For nearly 19years, the Selective Service System has welcomed the

opportunity to provide future military leaders with an in-depth overview of the Agency’s operations, whileenhancing their knowledge of the Agency’s role in nationaldefense preparedness.

Utilizing diverse and innovative training methodologiescontinues to be an essential priority and integral part of theAgency’s Strategic Plan. As its readiness-trainingprograms grow increasingly dynamic, flexible, and

responsive in today’s global and ever increasing digitaleconomy, improved technology and the introduction ofnew training techniques will continue to play a larger andmore important role in the Agency’s strong readinessposture and national defense preparedness.

SSS ANNUAL REPORT 2002 FIELD ACTIVITIES

At the heart of the Agency’s ability to perform itsmission successfully in a futurenational emergency requiring the draft is its link

to hundreds of part-time employees and thousands ofvolunteers throughout the country and the U.S. territories.That link is maintained by the Agency’s three RegionHeadquarters in North Chicago, Illinois; Marietta, Georgia;and Denver, Colorado. The Region Headquarters areresponsible for maintaining the SSS readiness at the“grass roots” level. They also oversee the activities of theAgency’s 56 State Directors, and conduct training forRFOs, AOAs, and Local, District Appeal, and CivilianReview Board Members. In addition, the RegionHeadquarters directly support the Agency’s mission ofincreasing registration compliance through registrationawareness activities by administering local programs.

They provide an important civic service, ensuring thatstudents are in compliance with the Military SelectiveService Act. They also provide a convenient alternativeto registering at the post office by assisting men inregistering on-line using school computers to connect tothe Agency’s Web site at www.sss.gov.

As a result of frequent high school visitations by RFOsand Board Members, all of the Regions experienced anincrease in the number of registrars appointed. Region IIachieved a 92-percent participation rate, Region III had86 percent participation, and Region I was at 77 percentin FY 2002.

Another major boost to compliance rates in the Regionswas the result of new driver’s license laws. During FY

2002, driver’s license lawslinking SSS registration toapplications for state driver’slicenses and identification cardswere passed in every Region.A total of 14 states and 2territories (Idaho, Maryland,Mississippi, Missouri, NewHampshire, New York, Ohio,Rhode Island, South Carolina,South Dakota, Tennessee,Virginia, West Virginia,Wisconsin, the Commonwealthof the Northern MarianaIslands, and the U.S. VirginIslands) had enacted such lawsby the end of FY 2002.

RFOs in the Regions were alsoinstrumental in raisingawareness of the registration

requirement. In addition to their visits to local high schools,they attended various conferences and conventions,manning the SSS exhibit booths while answeringquestions about the Agency and its mission. Included onthe schedule were the National Guard Conference andthe American Association of Collegiate Registrars andAdministrative Officers Conference.

During FY 2002, Region I achieved a 78-percent staffinglevel for Local Board Members (LBM). Although the

REGISTRATION AWARENESSACTIVITIES

During FY 2002, the Regions conducted very aggressiveregistration awareness campaigns. Top on the list ofpriorities was the Agency’s High School RegistrarProgram. Since the inception of this program in 1981,thousands of volunteers have been appointed asSelective Service high school registrars. At the end ofFY 2002, 84 percent of the Nation’s high schools hadbeen assigned a volunteer SSS high school registrar.

BOARD MEMBER PROGRAM

Region lost 479 of its LBMs, most of whom left due toreaching 20-year mandatory retirement status, 536volunteers came forward and received presidentialappointments as new Board Members.

In Region II, 77 percent of the 3,265 Local Board Memberpositions were filled. Although the Region lost 308 BoardMembers to retirement, 643 were newly appointed. Manyof these retiring Board Members have shown a desire tocontinue serving the Selective Service in the capacity ofState Resource Volunteers. Of the 2,499 Board Membersassigned, 88 percent have received Initial Board MemberTraining. During the year, 17 Initial Board MemberTraining (IBMT) sessions were conducted and 402 newBoard Members attended the training. Active BoardMembers generously volunteered their time to visit postoffices and high schools in their areas. Their effortssignificantly enhanced the high school visitation campaignand elevated our registration compliance.

In Region III, 75 percent of the LBM positions were staffed,reflecting the addition of 36 Local Boards and 180 LBM

positions as a result of the recent Work-Load Studyidentifying population growth areas. Eighty-four percentof the appointed LBMs completed Intial Board MemberTraining, and 78 percent completed Continuation Trainingthis year. As a result of the mandatory retirement of LBMs

DATA MANAGEMENT CENTER

During FY 2002, mobilization readiness training wasconducted for RFOs in all three Regions. In Region I, 92percent of assigned RFOs completed the training. InRegion II, 93 percent completed training, with 94 percentcompleting training in Region III.

All three Regions successfully completed participation inthe FY 2002 National Readiness Exercise.

The largest field operating entity of the SSS is theData Management Center (DMC), located in NorthCh icago , I l l i no i s . The DMC p rocessesregistrations and maintains computer operations

SSS ANNUAL REPORT 2002 EMBRACING THE FUTURE

EMBRACING THE FUTURE

Selective Service stands ready to satisfy all of itsstatutory missions. It is prepared for, andcapable of, delivering untrained manpower and

health care personnel to the Armed Forces in the timeframes prescribed by the Department of Defense (DoD),upon direction of the President and the Congress. Further,the Agency is capable of managing an Alternative ServiceProgram for those men classified as conscientiousobjectors by its Boards. To satisfy the needs of its primarycustomer, the DoD, necessary collateral activities includethe ongoing peacetime registration of men as they reachage 18, the identification of and contact with suspectednonregistrants to ensure compliance with the law, andthe maintenance of an active database of registrants.

Recognizing the Agency as a valued player within thenational security community, each Administration overthe years has supported the SSS and protected itsprograms because each knew that the world isunpredictable and dangerous, complex and dynamic.Selective Service remains a prudent hedge againsterroneous planning assumptions, rapid changes in theworld situation, and the “feast or famine” reality of militaryrecruiting. This proven defense manpower organizationhas stood the test of time, war, and peace and remainsavailable to contribute further to the Nation.

Since the American tragedy of September 11, 2001, therehas been a national discussion concerning the draft,volunteerism, homeland security, and various forms ofcommunity service. Public interest and concern aboutthe role and future of Selective Service have escalated.Recent articles, newspaper columns, editorials, anddiscussions within academia, think tanks, and the mediaindicate that reintroduction of conscription for the military,national service, or homeland defense would becontroversial and politically sensitive, even in today’spatriotic climate. Arguments have been voiced, pro andcon, regarding reinstatement of the draft as a part of thewar on terrorism or for national service programs. Amongthe ideas being discussed publicly are:

• The Agency possesses some unique capabilities,which have been refined over the years. For example, itpossesses a special database of America’s young menages 18 through 25; it has managed volunteers (BoardMembers); it has administered programs of alternative

community-based service (for men classified asconscientious objectors); and it has experience inconducting a fair and equitable classification procedureto determine who should serve when not all can serve. Ifcalled upon, these capabilities can be put to wider use,such as processing volunteers or non-volunteerparticipants in national security or service programs.The Nation would not have to “reinvent the wheel.”

• Selective Service might be called upon to collectand store an inventory of special skills that are dispersedacross the U.S. resident population. This unique databasecould be utilized for a special skills draft for either the DoDor non-DoD customers, voluntary or mandatory, suchas the Public Health Service, Peace Corps, AmeriCorps,Border Patrol, Customs Service, Immigration andNaturalization Service agents, etc. At a minimum, thisdata could be made available for Federal, state, or localrecruiting efforts for hard-to-find skills.

• Today, Selective Service is tasked to be preparedto conscript health care personnel when directed by theExecutive and Legislative Branches of the FederalGovernment. This developed plan could be expandedto include other shortfall skills required by the U.S. ArmedForces or civil authorities.

• The Agency might conduct a more traditionalmission–a military draft for the National Guard andReserves instead of the Regular forces. This endeavorcould ensure the personnel needed to handle expandedor brand new missions for the organized ReserveComponents.

• Finally, the idea of a draft for the Nation or statesspecifically for civil or military homeland defensemissions has been surfaced. Draftees would not serveoverseas, unless they volunteer to do so, but would beavailable for the war on terrorism and its impacts here athome.

Facing continuing national security threats, America isresponding with plans, programs, and procedures toensure its health, safety, and welfare. And as prudentsteps are taken here at home as the international sceneevolves, the President and the Congress can bereassured that Selective Service, as a major partnerwithin the national security community, is able to respondto its current mandates as it has done so successfully

and repeatedly in the past. The Agency can also respondto new assignments while remaining a cost-effective,proven backup mechanism to the U.S. Armed Forces.The Selective Service System remains relevant today,and is vital to a secure future.
