Universal Military Training is a response to modern warfare, i.e., warfare carried out by mass conscripted citizen armies. Universal Military Training (UMT) was invented to organize and manage the conscriptionprocess. Typically it requires a period of full-time training followed by a longer reserve status punctuated by brief retraining sessions. In some cases the reserve status may last for two or three decades.

In January 1945 President Roosevelt announced his intention to propose a UMT program after the war. He hoped such a plan would circumvent the American people\'s reluctance to support a large peacetime military force, which Roosevelt believed was necessary. The plan was designed to create a reservoir of trained men who could be available for service. All men between 18 and 20 would undergo a period of military training and then become a part of a reserve pool of manpower for five years. Hearings were held on the bill in 1945 but the proposal never got out of the congressional committee. A second effort to create UMT failed in 1947, largely because important congressmen believed it impinged on personal freedom.
