Doubt there were many draftees in the Philippines, Wake Island, Corregidor, or even Pearl Harbor at the time, most were career Army or Navy, with some called up National Guard units and USNR. Not Draftees, but volunteer enlistees.

Yes, there were civilians at Wake and their fate was the same as the military albeit they were not actually in the mlitary but contractors. They were executed in 43.
