It's called industrial mobilization. As I remember it, the president has the authority to enact it upon a full declaration of war from Congress -- not sure what the limits on that authority is, if any. There were all sorts of contingency programs for industrial mobilization during the Cold War. Kind of like registering for the draft. With one important exception. Corporations that are most likely to be needed in war are generally paid to keep themselves ready. No such luck with you guys who have to register, eh?
