1. Selective Service System
Help expanded the military to provide another 10million soldiers for the army and trained each solider in only 8 weeks.

2.Women
The Womens Auxiliary Army Corps (WAAC) made it so that women could servein noncombat positions such as nurses, ambulance drivers, radio operators, electricians, and pilots.

3. Minorities
Minorities who were drafted into the war did not feel as if they should be fightting the war. “Why die for democracy for some foreign country when we don’t even have it here?” However despite discrimination 300,000 Mexian americans, one million African Americans, and 13,000 Chinese Americans fought in the war.
